Leding Bespoke
Retail Space for Greater Dog Architects
Greater Dog Architects looks to combine the modern retail concept with a celebration of the traditional manufacturing process with its latest store for Leding Menswear. Entering from a staircase enveloped by a blue, glass box, customers transition from the modern world outside into glistening interior. "The creation of a proper suit needs to be based on details of the body measurement and carefully controlled by the fashion designer", says spokesperson for Greater Dog Architects. At the heart of the space, the blockish sculpture Time Flow expresses the rises and falls of the tailoring fabric.

Design Challenge
The main entrance of Leding Bespoke is on the second floor, and the only way is through the stairs enter space. How to combine the entrance and the staircase was a big challenge. Therefore, the designer applied blue laminated glass at the side of stairs, and placed lots of cubes around it, makes the little cubes growing in a big blue glass cube lively. Meanwhile, it is like coming out of a blue block when consumers enter the space, which is an interesting invitation for the guests.
Project Duration
The project started in October 2018 in Shaoxing, China and finished in August 2019 in Shaoxing, China.
Operation Flow
In the whole design process we normally have four design phases to complete one project, which includes conceptual design phase, schematic design phase, construction drawing phase, construction phase. We work on each phase to support this project until its finish perfectly.
Research
A narrative space through objects designer found in the process of custom-made suit, and also telling the precision of measuring bodies. So they had a specific research on its process and visit suit studio, understand raw materials and talk with tailors. The designer narrating space through details. For instance, shaping a readable space by illustrations and old tools. Application of the different scales of "body" element, and design a set of movable cubes express "time flow" poetically in the space.
Inspiration
"Traces are invisible. They perceive the flow of time through objects." -Greater Dog. It was fascinated to see different fabrics, plate making, tailoring, even old sewing machines and ironing tools, and these objects have inspired designers. So designers brought the rough, primitive, fundamental and forgotten objects back to the modern life. Consequently, It is not just only a retail space sells a high quality suits in a fashionable way, but also evokes the memory of the process of hand made era.
