The new flagship store in London's Mayfair, designed by Casper Mueller Kneer Architects renowned for their work with arts and fashion clients, unveils a sculptural artistic interior. This is the first stand-alone store for the fashion label Self-Portrait, setting a design precedent for subsequent stores. Spanning 233 m² across the ground and lower ground floors, the store features a sequence of interconnecting spaces that form zones with distinct spatial and material qualities.
Three design elements characterize the interior: custom-designed terrazzo flooring with pink and white marble insets, an open grid ceiling that creates a continuous, luminous horizon, and dark, heavy Cornish mineral clay render covering all wall and ceiling surfaces. The lighting is deliberately minimal, with linear luminaires behind the grid ceiling producing a seamless luminous horizon. Directional spots further accentuate the materials, sculptural design, and products.
This Self-Portrait store not only strengthens its global presence but also establishes a unique stand-alone identity for the first time.
