Italian lighting manufacturer Artemide has unveiled a futuristic flagship store in Taiwan. Designed by Taiwanese architecture firm Crox, the sculptural two-story space is located in downtown Taipei.


Focusing on the "concept of brightness and the sense of hope" that comes with the sun breaks through a cloud, Crox used fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP). The sturdy, lightweight material allows for a seamless composition extending from the ceiling to the wall, forming the reception desk in the process. The material conceals posts and beams, and, thanks to a coat of high gloss paint, makes the space appear larger.

Founded in the 1960's, Artemide has worked with high profile talents including Vico Magistretti, Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina, and Herzog & De Meuron.
