Acne Studios recently announce the opening of the global flagship store on the Upper East Side of Madison Avenue, in New York City. The new store with 230 square meter space is the largest opening yet of the firm, with unique gold features and details that are exclusive to the location. The is situated on the corner of East 74th Street, one block from the iconic Met Breuer building.
Madison Avenue will be the only Acne Studios store to feature gold as its signature tone, with metal interior walls and fittings in aluminum that have been electrostatically gilded. The black asphalt floor and structural pillars are dotted with semi-precious coloured stones. Entirely wrapped in glass to allow interior visibility, the store is a gallerylike space that feels inserted into its location.
Acne Studios’ long-term collaborator, furniture and interiors designer Max Lamb, has created new bronze furniture around his polycarbonate concept for the store, including a desk, benches and stools. Lamb also collaborated with Acne Studios to create custom rugs that sit like islands throughout the store. The luxury new store is open now, and marks another step in Acne Studios.
