Stores we loved in 2015

Who’s made our list of the year’s memorable store openings? We pick six favourites from around the world. Take a look…

Apple – Brussels

Whatever Apple does, you know it’s going to be influential. This store offers up a fresh face for a new generation, and we don’t expect it to stop here – watch this space.

Target Open House – San Francisco

Smart home tech was big news last year and will continue to be so in 2016, with a score of major retailers making their play. Target’s educational set piece around the subject set a high standard.

Muji – New York

Building on great work over the past two years, Muji’s largest US store to date champions locality, collaboration and customisation.

& Other Stories – New York

Another must-see Manhattan store, this was the Swedish retailer’s first landing in the US, and has since been succeeded by an even bigger and better store on Fifth Avenue.

Niko and… TOKYO – Tokyo

One of our team came across this editorial lifestyle store (it changes themes every couple of months) on a trip to Japan and the rest of us would love to check out the beautifully curated space for ourselves.
