Appreciation towards Kowtow and Makers of Architecture for providing the following description:

Kowtow诞生于2007年，旨在成为全球创意行业里走在时尚前沿的标杆。11年过去了，Kowtow在它的家乡——新西兰惠灵顿开设了旗舰店，强调使用天然的本地产可持续材料。

Kowtow was born in 2007 with the desire to create an ethical label that would be the example for a fashion forward, global thinking business. 11 years on, the label opens its flagship store in their hometown of Wellington, New Zealand, with an emphasis on natural, locally sourced and sustainable materials.

“商店的开业将Kowtow的理念带入了现实，对我们来说唯一的选择就是与Rufus Knight和他带领的创意十足的室内设计师合作，Rufus对于和我们合作感到十分激动，因为我们将可持续理念作为品牌的核心，而他也希望将这个概念运用到设计当中。我们考虑了所有细节——从回收的尼龙地毯到在新西兰生长打磨的木材。” Gosia Piatek（品牌创始人和创意主管）说。

“The store opening is an opportunity to bring the Kowtow ethos into a physical space. The only option for us was to engage interior designer and architect, Rufus Knight, as he is leading the charge with innovative interiors. Rufus was excited to work with us as sustainability and traceability is core to what we do and he wanted to execute that in the design. Every detail was considered – from the recycled nylon rugs to the New Zealand grown and milled timber – “ Gosia Piatek – Founder & Creative Director.

商店清楚地表现了极简主义，朴素大方。店外我们用两扇大窗代替传统的展示橱窗，这样过路人可以清楚地看到每天商店内的景象。从地板到天花板的木制结构将空间有韵律地分隔，同时支撑定制的轨道系统，展示架零散布置，销售工作人员可以看到整个店面，方便与客人交流。

The store articulates minimalism, simplicity and generosity. From the outside, two large windows frame the space. Instead of traditional displays, passerbys have an open and transparent view of the store’s day to day life. Floor to ceiling structures divide the space with rhythm and support a bespoke racking system, while display shelves punctuate the space. The point of sale anchors the space and invites conversation.

Every aspect of the store has been selected with sustainability in mind:
• Sustainably grown, harvested and milled eucalyptus, finished by hand with an non-toxic, eco friendly Osmo hardwax oil.
• Point of sale and display units are made from valchromat, a FSC certified product made with post industrial recycled wood chips and aimed at reducing environmental impact.
• Handmade ceramic tiles by local artist, Gidon Bing.
• Floor rugs made from salvaged and recycled synthetics, including fishing nets recovered from the ocean.
• Modular sofas designed by Simon James and upholstered with renewable and compostable fibres: virgin wool blends.
