Bank vaults are seen by most consumers in only movies, and their sophisticated appeal is not lot on most – an idea that the 24 Kilates Store embodies in the most literal sense.
24 Kilates is a shoe brand that chose an unlikely theme for its retail store in Bangkok, Thailand. The space was designed by the firm External Reference Architects, which chose a gold vault aesthetic for the store. This 24 Kilates store is the first of its kind in Asia and its design spares no expense. It features golden walls and lockers that can be opened up to reveal not bank notes, but the shoes the brand creates.
This creative security themed space provides a unique environment that consumers can marvel at and interact with.
