Japanese fashion label Christian Dada has opened its first flagship store in Singapore at the 268 Orchard Road mall.
Fumiko Takahama Architects designed the interior of the 1700 sqft (157.9 sqm) Christian Dada Singapore boutique, inspired by the Japanese karesansui garden (rock garden). Sheets of black perforated metal are folded, origami-style, to resemble rocks.
