rem d. koolhaas: united nude flagship store opens in amsterdam


united nude flagship store amsterdam by rem koolhaas

united nude, a brand founded by architect rem d. koolhaas and galahad JD clark opened
a flagship store in amsterdam last week.


the store concept
from injection moulded shoes to high-end carbon fiber heels, united nude is a brand based
on conceptual design, elegance and innovation. the characteristics of the brands products
are evident in the interior design of the flagship store, designed by creative director rem d. koolhaas.
the store is a 'dark-shop' concept which means the store is completely dark in all areas other
than those where the products are showcased and literally highlighted. the most important
and prominent element of the store design is the wall of light™, a computer-controlled LED wall
which displays the united nude products in geometric frames.

Be nice if the boxes turned to white light when you picked up the shoe. You know, so you could actually see what colour they are. Personally i like to know what colour shoes i'm buying. I also like to sit down when i try them on, not perch half an arse cheek on those cubes, sharing with the other shopper in the store blindly trying to find my own feet in the darkness. Footwear mirrors are another thing i like.... Blah blah blah.....
