after more than a decade long rooted in st francis yard and sun street, wan chai, arnault castel, founder of kapok, decided to take his retail space to a new horizon. combining the two old stores into one, the new kapok showcases a new flagship concept imagined under the helm of the creative heads of the architecture firm collective studio.

based on the fundamental idea of collage, the 1,500 sqf. flagship store merges two distinct characters in a symmetrical area: chromatised steel for fashion and plywood for lifestyle, the marble eect from the polished concrete floor echoes with the iridescent colour and the wood vein. the cement staircase leads to an intimate multi-function area where vips can enjoy a little privacy and occasional pop-up can take place.

kapok new flagship is home for iconic brands like common projects, maison kitsuné, astier de villatte, mad et len, native union... et al, and also welcomes new brands in hong kong: kowtow, amrose, rowing blazers, document, archive 18-20... just to name a few. 8 sun street flagship is a milestone for hong kong retail mecca, it embodies the ever-growing spirit of kapok.
