Seven years after first opening a flagship store in the upscale Cheongdam shopping area of Seoul, French fashion house CELINE has relocated to a more prominent location a few blocks away. Occupying a seven-storey modern building on Apgujeong-ro, arguably the neighbourhood’s most prestigious shopping artery, the retail space features the design codes as laid down by CELINE‘s previous creative director Hedi Slimane. The premises see a backdrop of white walls, swathes of marble, polished gold brass and mirrored surfaces, and shelving units with chrome finishings for mirror-clad cabinets and a wide range of carefully sourced range of Brutalist-inspired furnishings. The contemporary splendour is further boosted by a range of art pieces part which are part of the CELINE Art Project, an ongoing art programme launched in 2019 by Slimane which commissions art works. The works on display here in Seoul include a painting by Benjamin Lallier, and sculptures by Matt Browning, Lukas Geronimas, Kim Yun Shin, John Duff, Eli Ping and Nicola Martini. Needless to say, this newly opened CELINE flagship store offers the full range of merchandise, from women’s and men’s apparel, accessories, shoes and bags, to jewellery pieces, home products and fragrances. © 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.
