Innovative retail interiors may be the sales-cincher when it comes to design-savvy consumers, and the T-Magi store in Copenhagen ranks right up there in terms of contemporary aesthetic.

Designed by the Copenhagen studio WE Architecture, the T-Magi store is a tea shop for the exclusive French tea brand Mariage Freres. Along with walls covered in glass flasks and cork stoppers which contain varieties of tea samples, one major design feature is the back-lit perforations on its counters and shelves which combine to form a large 3D image of a teapot.
