with Taipei101A stark contrast to the bright interior design itself,BalenciagaThe exterior wall of the concept store is decorated with a rough and eroded surface that is deliberately polished, symbolizing the passage of time and the past that will never return. Two buildings lit with cold white lightBalenciagaSignboards are placed above the metal jointed glass at the entrance and display windows. Entering the store, industrial-style metal grids hang from the ceiling; polished concrete floors create the appearance of sidewalk tiles; and impregnated, aged concrete on the walls blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces.

As far as the eye can see, the ceiling grid, lighting equipment and other fixtures are exposed, and the store uses distressed metal tabletops and worn leather seats to simulate the signs of old storage furniture. The polished shelves and high-definition electronic screens, which are lit from the bottom up, add a touch of warmth and modernity to the empty store space.
