The Story Behind Khakis Seongsu Flagship Store Design - The design of the Khakis Seongsu flagship store marks the reunion of Khakis and design studio COM after four years. From the beginning of the project, COM established a set of guiding principles they called "NEW Khakis." These principles included: "Never pursue novelty for the sake of novelty," "Avoid excessive details that may overwhelm," "Design with both the staff and customers in mind," and "Three design ideas are enough." These principles were not merely theoretical—they guided the entire design process.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of spaces where we reside has garnered significant attention. The demand for improvements in large office environments accommodating over 200 individuals is as high as the interest focused on personal spaces. Offices centered around efficiency, with desks and chairs squeezed between dense partitions, represent a mundane reality that people no longer wish to encounter. There is a growing trend towards transforming corporate workspaces into welfare-oriented spaces for everyone's well-being, aiming to become part of the living radius of the organization's members.
