MEN'S FLAGSHIP
SONGZIO PARIS FLAGSHIP

ARCHITECTURE BY JAY SONGZIO

THE SONGZIO PARIS FLAGSHIP STORE IS COMPOSED OF FOUR DISTINCT SPACES: A MENSWEAR BOUTIQUE SPANNING THE GROUND FLOOR AND BASEMENT LEVEL, AN ATELIER ON THE SECOND FLOOR, AND A SEPARATE ANNEX WHERE COLLECTION PIECES AND MEDIA ART ARE EXHIBITED.

FACING RUE CHARLOT, THE GROUND FLOOR FEATURES FOUR LARGE WINDOWS AND ORDERLY COLUMNS OF BLACK CONCRETE AND OAK WOOD, EVOKING THE COLONNADES OF CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE AND PRESENTING A SENSE OF STRUCTURED BEAUTY.

A 7.5-METER-HIGH CONCRETE STAIRCASE ASSERTS A POWERFUL PRESENCE, LEADING TO A DISPLAY OF THE DESIGNER’S WORKS AT ITS SUMMIT, OFFERING VISITORS A DIRECT ENCOUNTER WITH SONGZIO’S ARTISTIC SENSIBILITY.

THE BASEMENT LEVEL, WITH ITS MIRRORED CEILING AND IRREGULAR FURNITURE ARRANGEMENT, CREATES AN ATMOSPHERE REMINISCENT OF A HIDDEN SANCTUARY, WHILE A FULL-WALL LED SCREEN ANIMATES THE SPACE BY SHOWCASING SONGZIO’S ARTWORKS.

BEYOND THE CENTRAL COURTYARD, THE ANNEX UNFOLDS WITH SOARING CEILINGS AND A HARMONIOUS INTERPLAY OF CURVES AND ANGLES, DELIVERING AN OVERWHELMING SENSE OF OPENNESS.

THROUGH THE USE OF CONCRETE AND FABRIC, THE SPACE EMBODIES THE BRAND’S DISTINCTIVE VISION.

WOMEN'S FLAGSHIP
SONGZIO PARIS FLAGSHIP

ARCHITECTURE BY JAY SONGZIO

THE SONGZIO WOMEN PARIS FLAGSHIP STORE EMBODIES THE BRAND’S CREATIVE PHILOSOPHY—BOLD YET RESTRAINED, MINIMAL YET REFINED, CLASSICAL YET AVANT-GARDE.

SPECIALLY COMMISSIONED ART FURNITURE, CREATED IN COLLABORATION WITH RENOWNED BELGIAN FURNITURE DESIGNER AND ARTIST ARNO DECLERCQ, ELEVATES THE ARTISTIC QUALITY OF THE SPACE.

HIS WORKS, WHICH UNITE SCULPTURAL FORM WITH FUNCTIONAL PURPOSE, TRANSCEND MERE DECORATION AND INTEGRATE ORGANICALLY INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.

DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM AFRICAN TRADITIONAL ART, BRUTALISM, AND THE CONTRAST BETWEEN CLASSICISM AND MODERNITY, DECLERCQ ELIMINATES ORNAMENTATION TO REVEAL THE PURITY OF FORM AND THE INHERENT DEPTH OF MATERIALS, RESULTING IN AN AESTHETIC THAT IS CONCISE YET POWERFUL.
