The Off-White empire continues to expand, and it’s in the Far East where branded retail spaces have mushroomed exponentially. The latest Off-White store has bowed at Suria KLCC, a leading luxury mall in downtown Kuala Lumpur. Occupying a 138 sqm. (1,485 sq.ft.) ground floor unit, the interior design takes cues from a Italian apartment – a bourgeois 1980s version, if you ask us – featuring grey travertine flooring, walls, pillars and furnishings in Lecce stone, and a ceiling captured in a grid of wooden beams. Organic-shaped carpets adorned with bold Off-White logos add a whimsical element to the setting. Similar to other Off-White stores in Singapore and Jakarta, the retail space is managed by retailer Surrender. For the opening of the store, the brand has released an exclusive capsule collection entitled “YOURS TRULY in a colour palette of black, white and salmon. It includes classic staples, such as hoodies and T-shirts emblazoned with the collection title on the front and detailed with colourful tape. A pair of soft denim shorts in a black vintage wash boasts Off-White’s iconic arrow print, made out of the bright silk-screen printed tape, on the back, similar to the hoodie’s design. Rounding off the capsule collection is a pair of white sandals, marked “RIGHT” and “LEFT,” and a bucket hat which matches the rest of the apparel.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
