“New Contemporary” is the reopened fifth floor of Shinsegae Department Store Gangnam, catering to young adults flocking to the Gangnam neighborhood in Seoul. The floor’s design is meant to evoke a sense of home with bright, diffused overhead lighting, curved walls that narrow and widen and a strong color palette throughout the space. Blending innovation with tradition, the store replaces traditional architectural pillars with Shinsegae’s creations, evoking a fresh style to the department store. Ultimately, the new fifth floor aims to become a dedicated space where millennials and Gen Z can shop for the latest fashion trends. For more design trends, visit VMSD.com Photography: Yongjoon Choi
