The Jil Sander boutique is one of four different retail spaces in Shanghai that Italian parent company OTB has launched in an ambitious endeavour to raise its profile in China. Following last month’s opening of a new outpost in Shenzhen, it’s only the second Jil Sander store in the country. Situated at JC Plaza shopping centre in the city’s Nanjing Xi Lu area, it occupies a 600 sqm. (6,458 sq.ft.) unit spread across two floors and features an interior design by its creative directors Luke and Lucie Meier in collaboration with London-based architect and designer John Pawson. The striking open lattice façades, both outdoors and indoors, are crafted from red Chinese granite, a material which has also been extensively used indoors.
所选的设计理念以简约和内敛为核心，同时也兼顾了光线、色彩、线条和材料之间的平衡，显然没有牺牲功能性。Jil Sander与大自然和户外生活的紧密联系，首先于2019年米兰国际家具展（Salone del Mobile）期间在其品牌总部通过艺术家Linda Tegg打造的一处茂盛的植物装置得以展现。对于这一全新的零售空间，这对夫妻档发起了一个与之相关的新项目，即店内将以手工特制的花盆，每月轮换展示绿植和花卉装置。全新的吉尔·桑德精品店备有该品牌的全系列男装、女装、配饰、鞋履、手袋、小型皮具和珠宝饰品。
The chosen design codes are anchored by simplicity and understatement, but also take into account a balance between light, colour, line and materials, and obviously without compromising functionality. Jil Sander‘s affiliation with nature and life outdoors was first demonstrated in 2019 during Salone del Mobile in Milan with a lush plant installation by artist Linda Tegg at the brand’s headquarters. For this new retail space, the husband-and-wife duo initiated a new and related project which sees the store adorned by a monthly rotation of green plants and flower installations in specially handcrafted pots. The new Jil Sander store stocks the brand’s full range of men’s and women’s apparel, accessories, shoes, bags, small leather goods and jewellery pieces.

John Pawson，大英帝国司令勋章（CBE）获得者，四十余年始终致力于创作严谨简约的建筑作品，这些作品虽以基础元素为核心，却又不失谦逊之态。他的作品涵盖多种规模和类型的建筑，包括私人住宅、宗教建筑、画廊、博物馆、酒店、芭蕾舞布景、游艇内部装饰，以及一座横跨湖泊的桥梁。
Whether at the scale of a monastery, a house, a saucepan or a ballet, everything is traceable back to a consistent set of preoccupations with mass, volume, surface, proportion, junction, geometry, repetition, light and ritual. In this way, even something as modest as a fork can become a vehicle for much broader ideas about how we live and what we value.
