Design studio Wynk Collaborative has created a store in Singapore for Ginlee Studio, featuring pebble-washed interiors and an indoor garden for "quiet respite from the city".
Located within a shopping centre in central Singapore, the Ginlee Studio store is set across a single level and is shortlisted in the small retail interior category of Dezeen Awards 2021.
The Ginlee Studio boutique is fitted with a workshop table to pleat garments in-store
Wynk Collaborative was tasked with creating a space that was not only a retail location for the fashion brand, but also a small workshop-style space that could be used to produce on-site, pleated-to-order Ginlee Studio garments.
Upon entering the store, visitors are greeted by a simple layout that includes curving clothes rails and a large cashier's desk, which doubles as a workshop table, organised across the sides of the Ginlee Studio store. An indoor courtyard is located at the rear of the store
The brand's garments are organised on folding metal piped rails that follow and respond to the contours and curves of the space.
"Since the brand is known for its pleated garments, we wanted to subtly suggest the idea of pleating by introducing folded or bent details within some of the elements, like in the series of custom stainless steel clothing racks and also in the geometry of the walls around the store," Wynk Collaborative told Dezeen.
