Few would argue that retail is one of the most exciting branches of architecture and interior design today. The ever-expanding reach of shopping culture across the globe has dictated the growth of an intensely competitive market, in which design is recognised as a legitimate tool in the seduction of customers through the shop doors. And the manifestation of desire into built form has produced some imaginative interiors indeed. Style Shopping: Shops & Shovrooms invites you beyond the window displays, and into the minds of the designers of some of Asia Pacific's most tempting retail interiors. From the visually abundant to the sparse display approach, from the low budget to the high budget interior, the shops presented here sell everything from diamonds to secondhand furniture to the perfect haircut. Varied they may be, but they all succeed in creating an exciting and memorable experience for the consumer.
