MVRDV designs Bangkok’s Bvlgari flagship store façade
Located in one of the largest malls in Asia, the IconSiam department store is the second in a series of façades devised by the firm for the luxury brand.
The design was primarily inspired by Bvlgari’s heritage and contains several Roman art motifs. One of these motifs is the distinctive cornice found on Bvlgari’s very first storefront.
MVRD tailored its design to ensure clientele continue to receive a luxury shopping experience by using transparent glass on the ground floor to create shop windows, and opaque glass on the VIP lounges for privacy.

The design concept for the project aims to create a contemporary industrial design that balances the comfort of a home-like atmosphere and the needs of a professional working environment by optimising ergonomics.
To this end, spaces offer comfortable soft seating, whiteboards, and screens with sharing capabilities, enabling the inhabitants to share and collaborate easily.
The colour schemes were carefully chosen: the lounge spaces are grey and indigo to evoke a calm atmosphere, while the main office is black and white to create a capacious space for workers.
