The Acne Pelham Street store embodies an industrial design aesthetic that is brought to life with its polished aluminum walls. Resembling a metal-made vault, this retail space stays true to Acne's clean and modern signature style.
The impressive space is located on Pelham Street, in South Kensington. The minimalist space spans 212 square meters and houses areas that display the label's menswear, womenswear and denim pieces along with their line of covetable accessories.
Designed by the Bozarth Fornell Architects team, the Acne Pelham Street store houses the ground floor and basement building space and aims to reinterpret a modern artist studio design concept. The shop features a range of aluminum applications that vary from smooth to perforated. The reflective material is paired with a matte and black ceiling along with neon lit elements and minimalist clothing racks.
