Technology and vintage are the common denominators of the concept for this 1,500 m2 mega store distributed on three levels, the largest in the world. Seven-metre-high curved shopwindows, a giant denim-wall at the entrance with 5000 jeans on show, a large spiral-shaped staircase in hand-welded metal sheet: these are the most evident “signs” of this project by the Diesel Interior Design Team. Apart from lines and accessories, this space also offers wi-fi workstations for the brand’s fans so that they can shop on-line, as well as a bookshop corner, a digital “magic mirror” to view your own profile at 360°, a desk where every week you can find DJs and international live performances.
