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.
