The concept of the flagship store of the Belgian undershirt brand Le Fabuleux Marcel de Brusells, wants to underline de nostalgic character of the brand by creating a functional background. The new elemens, being the white structures of the clothing racks, the mirrors and the fitting rooms, always start from the ceiling to create a frame for the vintage furniture within the shop. The shopwindow is a flexible system of hanging white tubes that creates a constantly varying image. A wall of wire mesh divides the shop and the private area in the back visually but nonetheless offers visitors a glimpse of the backoffice.
