J1M5 Boutique
J1M5 Boutique is a multi-brand fashion store interior of 266 square meters in Qingdao, China. The suitcase is the guiding concept of the design. Cabinets rotate 360 degrees at horizontal level and can be opened and closed freely, so each unit can act as a column, a clothing rail, a wardrobe, a fitting room or a display window. Moving the cabinets changes the layout and the catwalk routes, and frees open floor area for pop-up events and small press conferences. The ceiling is made of micro cement and stainless steel and hides the moving tracks, the lighting and the air conditioning.
J1M5 Boutique Buyer's Shop by Various Associates has been identified as an innovative example of architectural design by the A' Design Award. J1M5 Boutique Buyer's Shop received the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2021. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design prize which honors superior design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
