This month, COS re-opens the doors to its Biblioteksgatan, Stockholm flagship store – the first in Europe to adopt the brand’s new store concept featuring sustainable design and offering a gallery-like space to host art works and collaborations that celebrate the brands inspirations from the myriad fields of contemporary culture. This new concept developed by the in-house designers, and supported by sustainability, interiors and built environment specialists is part of the brand’s ambition to create fully circular store environments. Spatial techniques, engagement of the senses and playfulness with light create a vibrant yet intimate and inviting setting.
The store will open with a curated selection of paintings and sculptures by international artist, Liselotte Watkins who is inspired by vintage aesthetics and antique objects to create art that celebrates womanhood. The pieces will be available for customers to view for a limited time, while later in the season new works created specifically for the space will be introduced as well as the opportunity to purchase limited edition prints.
Spanning over two floors the 566m², space features a number of sustainable materials and fittings as part of the brand’s goal to reduce store CO2 emissions while maximising the lifecycle of all its interior, the Biblioteksgatan store design has 66% more recycled material than the original COS store. Some sustainable features include, a fully circular flooring system, 30% recycled aluminium rails, 100% recycled polystyrene mannequins in place of fibre glass, statement display tables made from recycled paper or cellulose pulp and the removal of CO2 heavy concrete fittings.
The Biblioteksgatan store re-opens to customers on 30 September and will bow in with the AW22 collection that debuted during New York Fashion Week.
