\"Metallic<\/div>\n

For our latest lookbook<\/a>, we’ve rounded up eight retail<\/a> spaces that use metal<\/a> to define their interiors, demonstrating its ability to elevate the shopping experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

From sculptural aluminium clothing racks to curved metal-clad walls, the stores featured in this lookbook embrace metal\u2019s versatility.<\/p>\n

Ranging from industrial and futuristic to sculptural and refined, here are eight retail stores that showcase how metal can be both functional and expressive.<\/p>\n

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring living rooms with the Togo sofa<\/a>, dental clinics<\/a> and stylish bookshelves<\/a>.<\/p>\n
