Following two boutiques and two shop-in-shops, Saint Laurent has inaugurated a new standalone store in New York City. Measuring no less than 13,000 sq.ft. (1,208 sqm.) spread across two floors of a redeveloped industrial building in the Meatpacking District, the retail space features an interior design by Saint Laurent‘s longtime creative director Anthony Vaccarello. Similar to the Saint Laurent flagship store on avenue des Champs-Elysées in Paris, which we’ve covered in a previous post, the premises are unapologetically sumptuous and high on visual drama. Understated yet intricately layered, the settings intriguingly pair raw materials, such as corduroy concrete, with various luxurious materials, including Cipollino and Fantasy Grey marble, glazed ceramic and walls clad in black mirror. An imposing grand staircase in black timber is a focal point of the ground floor interior. The retail space is dotted with carefully sourced vintage furniture pieces by a string of renowned designers which add a refined visual layer to the expansive boutique. The list of designers include Francis Jourdain, Richard Meier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambon, and Edward Wormley. The new Saint Laurent store carries the full range of women’s and men’s apparel, accessories, bags, shoes, jewellery and eyewear. © superfuture

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.
