MONCLER NEW STORE IN SINGAPORE:
THE “BLOWN UP” ICON
|
|
Newly opened Moncler flagship store appears inside Marina Bay Sands, architecture disappears to become a simple, unmissable sign in the cityscape in Singapore.
The facade itself embodies the brand identity: mimicking the curves and folds of Moncler’s classic down puffer, the first encounter with the world of the brand is already striking - visible day and night, the facade invites the visitors to an unforgettable experience within a space of contrasts.

|
The facade is a pure representation of the iconic shape of Moncler.
The 132 pieces of stone appear like expanding from within, like a soft stone.
|
|
The huge facade runs through three floors, in a continuous pattern of the iconic design.
|
|
Contrasted spaces express the different worlds of Moncler.
The ice-white rooms with reflective mirror ceilings remind the visitors of walking into an iceberg. The products are displayed on the pure white materials, looking like a brush of color on a pure blank canvas.
The colourful and expressive design of Moncler is highlighted in the immaculate environment.

|
In contrast, the deep dark spaces, enhanced with mirrors, create an infinity composition of warm wood and grey stones, infuse an intimate and relaxing feeling, the iconic boiseries re-interpreted and enlarged almost disappears.
The products appear like floating in contrast within the shadows of the displays.
The tension and sense of surprise created by the contrasted space, create a sense of renewed curiosity.
|
|
A play of mirrors and wall emphasize the discovery of the different collections, like a maze constantly shifting perspective: a dialogue of the opposite, verticality, horizontality, infinity, light and shadow.
The reflection also creates a connection between the two floors.
|
|
The floating stone and suspended displays reflect in the mirror ceiling, which create a sense of immateriality and future.
The use of light and the composition of the elements create a feeling of weightless, avant-garde and almost surrealism.

A counter in simplicity and strength like an iceberg.
