Acne is the latest design brand to favour pink for interiors, using it to colour the ceiling in its new Milan store.
The Swedish fashion brand has opened its first Milan flagship on Piazza del Carmine in the Brera district ? an area of the city populated with designer shops and galleries.

Acne was keen to reflect the artistic nature and "individuality" of the area through the interior design, while staying true to its own signature minimalist aesthetic.
"It took five years to find the perfect place for us in Milan," said creative director Jonny Johansson. "I am so happy that we waited, because the Piazza del Carmine has the exact sense of individuality and community that I like."
"The store is totally unique, and also totally Acne Studios."
The flagship is set inside an existing building that has high, arched windows across its front and side facades. The shape of these windows is repeated throughout the store's interior, where stainless steel arches are set against grey-toned granite walls.
The same granite, sourced at a local quarry in the Baveno region of Italy, was also used for the flooring and the furniture, which was designed in-house at Acne.

The fashion brand also commissioned a custom-made lighting system specifically for the store, named The Mega.
Attached to the pink ceiling, The Mega has multiple fixtures each made of polished aluminium. While the expansive windows allow natural light to flood the store during the day...
