Situated at the heart of the city's premier shopping district, Chanel has just unveiled its latest store over at ION Orchard that's anything but ordinary. The catch? It houses the brand's first-ever hybrid boutique concept in Southeast Asia, which features two distinct spaces — the Chanel beauty studio and a discovery area — for a fully immersive retail experience like no other.

Opened on Nov 1, visitors to the 95 square metre space at B2-42/43 Ion Orchard can enter the store via two separate entrances that will lead you to two different retail concepts.

On one hand is the Chanel Beauty Studio, a bright, sleek and futuristic space dedicated to everything makeup-related. Akin to an art gallery, this area boasts a pink wall created with 2,164 lipstick tubes that are illuminated from within, creating a modern animated 3-D mural.

In the centre of the room is what the brand dubs the Beauty Creative Table – which features interactive screens that allow customers to engage in online makeup tutorials and digital makeovers.

Next door to the Beauty Studio is a space with interiors drenched in gold, white and black that is dedicated to the maison’s skincare range. This includes the luxurious Sublimage line and expanded Boy de Chanel line for men. Also available here are fragrances like the Les Exclusifs de Chanel series of scents inspired by the moments in Coco Chanel’s colourful life.

Any good retailer knows that an immersive store experience includes extra perks and treats. Which is why this Chanel beauty store also retails a selection of sunglasses and small leather goods – the latter will only be available for a limited period. Sticking to the beauty theme, the leather goods feature vanity case-inspired cases and crossbody bags.
