Both in its silhouettes and its marketing, Gentle Monsters is a brand that's known for pushing the boundary when it comes to innovation -- this becomes apparent at Gentle Monster's flagship store, which is fitted with a life-sized robot and donkeys.
Set as a futuristic dream-like environment, this space which spans 4,300 square feet is equipped to take visitors through an immersive experience that provides a deeper understanding of what the eyewear brand is all about. A life-sized robotic woman sits on a chair and ponders with her head in her hand, meanwhile, two realistic donkeys face each other on podiums. Both strange and exciting, this flagship space invites consumers on an exciting retail journey.
