Located in the heart of Omotesando, Céline Omotesando has been redesigned with a new architectural design concept by Hedi Slimane, expanding the store's floor space to 700 square meters across three floors and creating a timeless space. Using the finest natural materials, the interior resembles a balanced, monumental sculpture.

The first floor primarily houses leather goods and small leather goods, with new areas for haute perfumery and fine jewelry. All items coexist among fixtures made of chrome metal and polished gold brass. Antique gold mirrors line the walls, and at the center of the iconic spiral staircase is "Snake X," a copper and steel sculpture commissioned by Hedi Slimane and created by artist Elaine Cameron-Weir.

Through a Parisian salon filled with books and art pieces, built around Brutalist design, a staircase leads to the basement. Behind black smoked glass panels, a minimalist design in black metal unfolds, its pure, functional geometric lines reminiscent of the era of Modernism.

The second floor houses the women's ready-to-wear collection and is divided into two areas, including a private room. Glass-paneled windows offer views of the Omotesando streetscape outside.

The CELINE HOMME collection is located on a newly constructed basement level covering over 185 square metres, separated by polished gold brass walls into ready-to-wear and leather goods and accessories areas.

The floor is paved with large Italian "Basaltina" stones. The walls are adorned with precisely placed travertine, black lacquer, chrome metal and mirrors, creating an elegant atmosphere.

The elevator to the upper floors is located next to the rest area. The vintage furniture displayed here, as well as furniture specially designed by Hedi Slimane, harmonizes with the space with its sculptural beauty and plays an important role in the overall concept.

Following previous Celine Art Projects, the exhibition now includes a number of contemporary art pieces, including paintings by Chris Succo and John Isaacs, and sculptures by A. Kassen, David Nash, Elizabeth Atterbury, and Cameron Platter.
