Palm angels opens its first flagship store in paris. One of the key aspects of the design approach was to create a space that reflected the brand's identity and ethos. Charles-Edmond Henry and Studio Henry team wanted to create an immersive environment that showcased the brand's edgy and youthful aesthetic. To achieve this, they drew inspiration from both contemporary cultures and classical French architectural styles.

The designers incorporated raw and refined materials, such as metal, wood and marble, to create a harmonious balance of elegance and roughness. Studio Henry incorporated elements of French classical architecture, such as ornate molding and woodwork, to create a sense of refinement and elegance.

The store is characterized by a series of fluid spaces, where customers can explore and engage with the brand. A lounge area, a gallery space, and a retail area were created to provide visitors with a sense of ease, as well as an immersive experience. A spectacular ornamental fully made with marble stairway has been imagined as a center piece, as the one stairway you can find in the Opera Garnier in Paris.

In addition, the designers used graphic patterns, geometrical lighting strategies, and skateboarding culture elements to create a unique, memorable and playful experience for visitors. The use of these elements created a sense of energy and vibrancy that is characteristic of the Palm Angels brand.

Finally, the collaboration between Studio Henry and Palm Angels demonstrates the importance of collaboration and cross-disciplinary approaches to design in the future of retail architecture. By involving both an architectural design firm and the brand's art director in the design process, the store's design was able to effectively reflect the brand's identity and create a unique, engaging retail environment.
