Sony Ericsson Concept Store
Opened: Renovated Mar 2011 The buzz: This store may be located in the heartlands but it’s also the most recent in Southeast Asia to be redone to reflect the new Sony Ericsson experiential retail concept. The vibe: The store design takes its cue from the phones themselves—there are play, art and entertainment experience zones set […]
Samsung Flagship Store
Opened: Dec 2006 The buzz: One of the first experiential showrooms to have opened in Singapore, with several other outlets throughout Asia, this interactive space ranks high on the fun chart. The vibe: The layout of the store, along with its clean island displays, conjures up unhappy memories of being dragged around Best Denki. But […]
LG Live
Opened: May 2011 The buzz: It’s LG’s first showroom in Asia, and it’s inside the latest contender for Singapore’s most opulent shopping destination. What’s not to like?

If you’re in the mood for […]
INHABIT – The Other Store
The affluent, style-hungry set flock to this respectable paragon, also one of our all-time favorite indie boutiques, for high fashion labels like Dion Lee, MM6 by Margiela, Richard Nicoll and Josh Goot. The geometric-designed, sombre space doesn’t leave the boys out either, offering understated-cool pieces from brands like Song for the Mute and Loyal.

This compact space boasts brand new equipment (most of which has built-in entertainment systems), walnut paneling, rainforest showers, sauna facilities and ample amenities that leave little to be desired. Complimentary workout attire is provided and all the equipment […]
