Fashion insiders have come to know Shenzhen as a forward city on a par with the taste level of China‘s leading fashion and lifestyle hubs Shanghai and Beijing, and as such, many a leading luxury brand has opened up shop here to cater to a soaring demand, including Acne Studios. The Stockholm-based fashion brand has shifted gear,and has now inaugurated a second retail space in the city at Shenzhen MixC shopping centre. The store occupies a spacious 458 sqm. (4,930 sq.ft.) spread across two levels and features an interior design by Swedish architect and longtime collaborator Christian Halleröd. The store façade has a very transparent and high-tech look with a Spider-glass-curtain-wall system, meanwhile, anodised and raw metal can also be found with touch of pink inside.
The flooring, staircase and pillars are all captured in a rough, bush-hammered pink granite, while the walls and ceilings come in contrasting white high gloss lacquer. The furniture pieces, in hues of pink and red leather, alongside with customised tufted rugs, are crafted by London-based designer Max Lamb. Similar to many other Acne Studios store, the light fixtures have been designed by Benoît Lalloz, a designer and light artist from Paris. The premises are dotted by specially designed mannequins by Daniel Silver. Additionally, a new denim cube installation is introduced to display Acne Studios denim collection in the store. The new Acne Studios store carries the brand’s full range of women’s and men’s apparel, accessories, shoes, bags and eyewear.

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.
