Prada Opens Monobrand Store In Busan, Korea

Prada has opened a brand new monobrand store inside the prestigious Gwangbok department store in Busan, Korea.

Designed by architect, Roberto Baciocchi, the new space spans a single level covering a total surface area of approximately 220 square metres. It houses the Prada collections of bags, accessories and footwear for men and women.

The external facade was created out of black glass, and its elevation is characterized by two entrances interspersed between alternating display windows and light boxes.

The interior is articulated by a series of polygonal spaces in which the distinctive elements of Prada stores around the world are reiterated: walls upholstered in green canvas, display furniture enriched by smoky mirrored backdrops, curvilinear couches in lilac velvet for the women’s area; and rosewood and polished-steel furniture alongside wheat-coloured velvet seating in the men’s space.

Sumptuous glass and polished-steel display counters complete the design creating a unifying motif across the different environments. Check out the pics below.
