Colorless Cavern Boutiques

The Kois Associated Architects Linea Piu Store is Pristine

— June 19, 2012 — Art & Design
If you are looking for a Karl Lagerfeld-esque shopping experience, the Kois Associated Architects Linea Piu boutique is your next stopover. The luxury retailer's latest shop is designed inside a historic building on the picturesque Greek island of Mykonos.

Old school interiors boast traditional elements that are absent in today's cookie-cutter residences. To preserve these characteristic details, the designers freshened up the exposed brick and arching walls with a coat of white paint. They not only painted the interior, but also lacquered up the trees sitting peacefully in front of the store. As patrons enter the shop, they are surrounded by a sea of luxury products arranged meticulously on the black steel shelves. The displays contrast heavily against the pure white backdrop, allowing the goods to shine through.

The Kois Associated Architects Linea Piu store is elegantly designed from the inside out.
