In keeping with the brand’s expression, ‘simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,’ Calia has been designed with Omotesando in mind - modern, intense, and impeccably dressed. Illuminated gold mesh curtains adorn the double-height mezzanine windows. The curtains elude to an indulgent experience within. As they enter, customers step into a two-level, 800-square-meter space. A neutral colour palette of natural terrazzo, travertine stone, handmade ceramics, and warm timbers was used. This allowed the ‘St Jeromes’ dining room and an expansive Japanese retail selection to take centre stage. Moments of serenity are created through rock gardens and draping greenery. This balance of curated design and nature ground the customer, encouraging dwell time.
