A new Acne Studios store opened on Rue Saint Honoré in Paris. The celebrated fashion brand's founder, Johnny Johansson, collaborated with architecture studio Arquitectura-G on the design of this retail location. The space is clad in Saint Maximin stone, which is a French limestone that is sourced from a nearby quarry. It is a material that is frequently employed in Parisian architecture.
The Acne Studios store exudes a sense of luxury and sophistication. The interior is just as spectacular as the elegance of the exterior. The interior also provides subtle references to "a Stockholm skatepark and its Parisian setting." The design of the space is intended to evoke the "poetic" feeling of "sitting under a piece of concrete infrastructure."
