I.T Beijing Market - Sanlitun

Addicted To Retail (ATR) presents: I.T Beijing Market in Sanlitun Village, Beijing, with interiors by Comme des Garçons.

Hong Kong retailer I.T handed the design of its Beijing flagship to Rei Kawakubo, and the result is the closest thing to Dover Street Market outside London and Tokyo. The shell is left raw, the brands build their own environments inside it, and the circulation is deliberately confusing, so that a shopper discovers the Comme des Garçons shops, the Junya Watanabe corner and the I.T house labels in the order the building decides. Sanlitun Village, with its Kengo Kuma-designed blocks, gives it a backdrop of equal ambition.
