D415 has conceptualised and created the SOM store in Bratislava, Slovakia.
The SOM store is a multi-brand store that covers various brands and designers – the architectural solution was designed so that each fashion designer has their own equivalent separate space.
"In the store, we work[ed] with the introvert X extrovert theme by turning the walls, which gradually reveal individual designer collections as you walk through the space," said D415.
Furthermore, the central location of the wooden showcase with the bench as the jewel of the store is not accidental.
"In addition to the main exhibition function for fashion, the central furniture has the function of a bench for sitting... either for trying on accessories or for audience seating at small fashion shows," added D415.
This project has been shortlisted in the retail interior (small) category of Dezeen Awards 2023.
