The new Zens Lifestyle Store in Amsterdam is a chic and relaxing retail environment designed by Rotterdam-based firm SchilderScholte Architects. The interior is lined with hundreds of pastel-colored wooden beams that give the space a calm, intimate feeling and that is contrasted with warm yellow spotlighting over the brand's home decor products on display.
The chic boutique is a luxury shopping haven being replicated by many high end beauty and lifestyle brands that speaks to the consumer desire to partake in a sophisticated, personalized experience. The stunning space reflects both the simplicity and sophistication associated with the Asian lifestyle brand.
Located in central Amsterdam, the shop presents the product in a way that feels more like that of in a museum, creating an air of exclusivity and culture.
