Prada opened a new store this week in Sanya, a well-known tourist destination in Southern China, located in the luxury of The Ritz-Carlton resort.
The store, designed by architect Roberto Baciocchi, occupies a total area of about 220 square metres, and it offers women’s and men’s leather goods, accessories and footwear collections. The exterior of the store preserves the building’s unique architecture: brightly coloured wood cladding frames the large glass panes, arranged in a regular pattern, while the black marble outlines one entrance and two store windows, whose backdrop is lightened by an elegant white fabric.
The store’s interior, characterised by high ceilings and polished steel columns, features the design elements that define Prada’s brand identity worldwide: chequered black and white marble floors, display counters in crystal and polished steel, pale green walls and white leather sofas, all blending together harmoniously.
