Octagonal Tunnel Boutiques

The LN-CC Store Will Take Shoppers On a Surreal Journey

— June 3, 2011 — Business
This new LN-CC store in east London has me thinking about that infamous space station scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey. After all, the two feature brightly lit octagonal hallways that do more to disorient than to help people get to where they need to go. However, don't be fooled: this isn't a bad thing.

This octagonal tunnel is the centerpiece of the eclectic new boutique that will have shoppers spiraling from section to section of the swanky clothing store. Designed by London set designer Gary Card, the new LN-CC store will be selling the latest fashion styles as well as books and music and will feature a club room and a photography studio.

Even if you aren't a fan of the clothing store, the new LN-CC store is still worth a visit just for its idiosyncratic architecture.
Trend Themes
1. Idiosyncratic Retail Store Design - Innovative use of interior design and architecture in retail stores to create an unparalleled shopping experience for customers.
2. Multifunctional Retail Spaces - Retailers expanding their offerings beyond just products, by also incorporating additional experiences such as clubs, photography studios, or event spaces.
3. Disorienting Retail Store Layouts - Creating unique and immersive shopping experiences by incorporating unconventional store designs that feature disorienting layouts or paths that challenge traditional shopping experiences.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Retail - Innovative retailers in the fashion industry can utilize unique store designs and additional experiences to stand out from competitors and create loyal customers.
2. Specialty Retail - Providing niche retail experiences such as bookstores or music stores can benefit from incorporating multifunctional spaces or unique store designs to increase customer engagement.
3. Event Planning - Event planners can explore incorporating unconventional sets and layouts to create memorable and engaging event experiences for their clients.
