Galeries Lafayette Jakarta (Pictures)

Design: Plajer & Franz
Opening date: June 2013
Store size: 12,000 sq m

Paris department store Galeries Lafayette has opened a fashion temple in Pacific Place, in the heart of Jakarta. Designed by Berlin-based Plajer & Franz, the 12,000 sq m store is spread over four floors and brings a touch of Parisian chic to Indonesia.

‘One day in Paris…’ is the leitmotif of the design concept. Typical Parisian elements, such as streetlamp facades and the Eiffel Tower are interpreted in an ‘accessible but warm’ way.

The store houses more than 300 international and local brands and has emerged in a partnership between Galeries Lafayette and indonesia’s leading fashion retail company Mitra Adiperkasa (MAP).
