‘ Less is more ’ is the key design philosophy . It is minimalist , yet bold , allowing the products to stand out and be the centre of attention . Several sustainable materials were incorporated into the fitout , including cork columns , a ceiling structure made entirely of pre-fabricated Colourbond steel , and a Rondo ceiling grid system that is 100 per cent recyclable .
The store ’ s design aims to enhance the customer experience , making it more immersive , with the Westfield Sydney location showcasing a design that is both sleek and environmentally conscious .
