Sokos
Reviving a retailer and a flagship store
Sokos is a chain of Finnish department
stores that was in need of transformation.
The flagship store in Helsinki is sited in a
protected landmark building and this was
entirely re-modeled over a 2 year period.
From the exterior with bold signage that
floats off the facade to the covered atrium
a new retail experience has been created.
Each of the 6 floors was re-planned and themed by colour and every department designed to reflect the new brand proposition which was to focus on fashion and lifestyle.
Alongside the new fixtures and fittings, the
interior has been carefully restored with
some new design features that echo the
1950’s origins of the store.
