This is the fourth store image created by Tens Atelier for TU and can be considered as the origin of the collaboration between TU and Tens Atelier. TU has always conveyed the brand's philosophy of a contemporary feminine image that is not aggressive, not compromised, unrestrained in style, gentle but also powerful. ▼Entrance  MRC MRC Last year during Shanghai Fashion Week TU was invited to set up a Pop-up store at Crystal Plaza, with a very short project cycle of only 15 days from design to opening.

The inner adopts a language of dark leather and dark tables offsetting against the white ceiling plane. Whilst the outward has deep red warm leather with carefully exposed and neatly finished ductwork above.The white ceilin... More

Contradicting this request were the desires of the city government, whose preference was for a building that would fit in with its muted surroundings on the busy street.MVRDV was commissioned to design the building’s exterior and responded to these competing hopes with a 7-store...
