Permanent Retail with Rafael de Cardenas
Soeul Korea
Kenzo, a fashion label founded byHumberto Leon and Carol Lim of Opening Ceremony, sought out Rafael de Cardenas / Architecture at Large, to design Soeul, South Korea. The facade, made up of spun-metal, multi-colored cones, aims to capture the dynamic and exciting use of pattern and color found within the Kenzo brand.
Collaborators: Charles Dorrance-King, Sebastien VanDenBerg, Robert Passov
Inspired by the bold design of traffic cones and maximalist patterns, it serves as a graphic, textural surface that exhoes the brand’s tactile sensibilities.
