Canadian athletic wear brand Lululemon has announced the opening of its first flagship store in Gangnam, Seoul.
The store is three stories tall and has an area of approximately 920 square meters. The exterior is based on the stripes that are a signature design of the brand.
The building is surrounded by a 3D printed structure made from recycled materials. The building is equipped with custom-made terrazzo tiles and handmade tile stairs. The stairs feature a design inspired by the Pacific Northwest.
The flagship store will feature lighting that represents sunlight. The first men's floor will be the brand's first. To celebrate the opening, customers can customize products with specially produced pins.
The brand will operate a "Personalization Station" where customers can customize their own personalization. The opening event held on the 19th featured dancer Lip Jay, who is an ambassador for the brand, and
Model Han Hye-jin and others attended the event. Gareth Pope, president of Lululemon's Asia Pacific region, said, "Korea is one of the fastest growing markets in the Asia Pacific region. The opening of the flagship store
is part of our investment in the Korean market, which has an active community and growing demand for premium athletic wear."
