Ten outlandish shop interiors that reimagine the retail experience

A pink furry fashion boutique, a cosmetics store styled like a 1970s office and a streetwear outlet adorned with a chandelier of Nike trainers feature in this roundup of weird and wonderful retail interiors.

‍

The past year has seen a growing trend for over-the-top shop interiors, from stores containing surreal sculptures and installations to those masquerading as something else entirely.

‍

Below are 10 unusual retail spaces recently covered on Dezeen:

Balenciaga Mount Street, UK

Designer fashion label Balenciaga has temporarily covered its Mount Street store in London with fluffy bright pink faux fur to celebrate its Le Cagole bag and launch a collection of accessories and shoes.

‍

The maximalist look is intended to match the Le Cagole identity, which takes its name from French slang for an "over-the-top attitude".

Bala SoHo, USA, by Ringo Studio

Brooklyn-based Ringo Studio designed this retail space in New York City for fitness brand Bala as a pastel-coloured "playground" containing giant replicas of its products.

‍

These include a 12-foot version of the Bala Beam weight propped against a mirrored wall and an oversized ankle weight forming a squishy leather seat.

Superette Toronto, Canada

Marijuana store chain Superette bases its shops on nostalgic retail environments, and for this outlet in the Annex neighbourhood of Toronto its in-house design team took cues from a classic Italian deli.

‍

The cannabis dispensary's lime-green walls, tomato-red stools and checkerboard floor were intended to create a "convivial spirit" in a bid to appeal to the area's student population.
