A wall create the space that opens to the outside of the store and connects the street with the inside the shop. This high- ceiling space is a entrance hall of this boutique to welcome pedestrians in the street. It also can be communication space such as an event hall, a gallery space or terrace.

The interior is flooded by natural white light through the gently waving “Wall”. Being filled with the play of light, visitors will find a variety of furnishings in this boutique.
