In the recent Missoni Home newsletter there are images of their new, first single-brand store in L.A. Designed by Patrick Kinmonth and Antonio Monfreda, it particularly interested me because the store exterior imitates a woven fabric composed of interwoven aluminium bands. This concept is reflective of the fabrics within the Missoni store and is taken even further though the lighting.

The store has small bands or slits for lighting, and as a result, further implying notions of a woven fabric ideally when the store is lit up at night but also providing more subtle suggestion to woven fabrics inside the store in the day.
