With innovative quality and a superb sense of style yet again the German multi-specialist confirms its position as leading international agency for intelligent brand architecture in Asia.

Initial idea of the store concept was to stage SOGOs Japanese roots on the Indonesian market. 11,000 sqm. of retail space, spread over three floors present itself today as a perfect platform to display the product groups beauty, fashion, underwear, accessories, home and kids.

Therefore brand architecture specialist Plajer & Franz Studio transformed the warehouse logo –it originates back to its beginnings as a kimono store– into a corporate pattern which can be recognised throughout the whole interior space.

This exceptional design element presents itself on the indoor facade, puts highlights onto the ceiling, serves as a pattern for wallpapers and tile arrangements, graces the focus walls, and gives its shape to refined furniture objects complementing the focus area.

High quality surface materials like natural wood, stainless steel, and brushed brass emboss the noble character of SOGO while special fabrics and individual designed wallpaper add a soft touch.

A constellation of multiple over-sized lights illuminate the void areas. Along with the striking floor tiling in the catwalk-areas, here visual highlights are celebrated in the department store. Altogether the store-design is a consistent and coherent concept down to the very detail.

Not only does it set new international standards, but is a novum to the Indonesian retail landscape. Besides projects for department store chain SOGO Plajer & Franz Studio recently designed department store Galerie Lafayette in Jakarta.
