Drawing inspiration from Issey Miyake’s iconic A.P.O.C (A Piece Of Cloth) collection from the 1980s, the design proposal for a space transformation embraces the essence of fluidity, movement, and versatility inherent in Miyake’s innovative designs.

The design of the Indigo Delicatessen at Palladium was conceived as a deliberate departure from the conventional architectural norms typically associated with mall environments and brand establishments. Our aim was to challenge the monotony of repetitive brand architecture and create a space that not only stood out but also subverted the trappings of its mall context. Central to the design approach was the juxtaposition of programmatic elements and spatial intent, blending the intimacy and warmth of traditional wine cellars with the functional requirements of retail shelving. This fusion of disparate elements gave rise to a unique and visually striking form that served as an insert into the raw space of the mall, effectively obliterating its rigid geometries.
