The Corridor On Madison Avenue

Designing interiors of boutiques for famous fashion designers is not an easy task. How to create an interior that would be unusual, interesting, to attract the attention of buyers, but nevertheless would not suppress the collection wizard, and would have been spectacular, but neat frame for it?

Canadian architect Gordon Kipping – Gordon Kipping Architects, who created the boutique interior of the famous Japanese designer Issey Miyake on Madison Avenue, managed brilliantly with this task.

Kipping gave almost Spartan appearance to the huge building in the area 793 square m.: gray floor, white walls, steel columns I of shaped profile. The elongated building the designer turned into an almost endless corridor, arranged in its end of the mirror wall, in which the white walls continue its run. There is nothing superfluous: white bar on the right, hangers with neatly hanging clothes – on the left, a few dummies – in the center of the hall. Such a solution of the interior might seem too humble, if not simple, but very effective element – the ceiling, built of black and white panels, which is its contrast, attracts attention not only to buyers but also to pedestrians passing by. Moreover, the designer destroyed the boundary between the street and the interior of the store, replacing the wall at a huge, fully glazed window, opening the world Iof sse Miyake.
