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.
