Storied fashion house Celine pens a new chapter in its retail narrative with the opening of its latest boutique. Located at ION Orchard, it isn’t just another retail space. It also promises to be a treat for the senses.
The store’s stunning architectural design will take your breath away. The exterior is a clever fusion of curved glass and Calacatta Oyster marble, creating a striking yet inviting facade. Then step into the equally beautiful interior and admire the use of Basaltina natural stone and marble, juxtaposing against warm tones of oak, brass and antique gold mirrors.

Besides exuding 21st-century brutalist interior design style, specially commissioned vintage furniture decks a private lounge for guests. In line with the ongoing Celine Art Project, a wall-mounted sculpture by Dutch artist Machteld Rullens also features within. The 2023 artwork, Dolphine Creme, comprises a mix of oil, acrylics, pigment, epoxy resin and bolts on cardboard.
