Elevating Retail Design Through Bespoke Japanese Tilesarchitectural ambition
This 90-square-metre retail installation explores how tile can define both function and atmosphere within a multi-use space. Serving as both a boutique and exhibition setting, the design centres around custom YUMI saddle red tiles, selected for their sculptural surface and rich, earthy tone.
These tiles act as the focal point of the space, wrapping walls and display areas in a continuous ceramic landscape. Their depth and texture respond beautifully to natural light throughout the day, offering a quiet sense of drama and warmth, perfectly suited to high-end retail environments with architectural ambition.
