Stone Island forays into Southeast Asia for the very first time and opens a new outpost at Marina Bay Sands, arguably the leading luxury shopping centre in Singapore. The Milan-based brand has secured a 115 sqm. (1,238 sq.ft.) unit on one of the shopping centre’s subterranean levels, featuring an interior design by longtime collaborator Marc Buhre of German architecture practice Zeichenweg. A monochrome backdrop, created from brushed bush-hammered stones covers the walls and floor while the back wall, is clad in MDF with contrasting yellow paste and features a bold Stone Island compass logo. Furnishings are few, but all allude to the brand’s distinctly modern and tech-infused brand image, and include suspended black metal clothing racks, paired with matching shelving units, four combined standing clothing racks and displays, and last but not least, a mannequin installation. The ceiling and changing rooms dipped in Caparol paint and have Kvadrat wool curtains. The new Stone Island store carries the brand’s full range of apparel, while the Shadow Project collection is presented in a dedicated area.

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.
