Located in Seoul, Korea, the Sumit Shop by M4 Design is a grid-inspired [clothing store](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/womens-clothing-boutique) that features boldly linear design elements. Caged cubes act as clothing displays, wall dividers and interior furniture fittings.

Painted in white, these minimal interior elements are juxtaposed with the bold clothing hues. A fusion of clean lines and eye-catching colors, this [compact retail space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-by-one-1) features elements that can be dismantled and easily moved.

This multi-functional space is all about adaptability and function. Designed by Kwang-Hyun Han and Young-Sub Yun, this monochromatic interior features versatile elements that allow for a reconfiguring of spatial layouts. The Sumit Shop by M4 Design is a personality-filled retail space.
