Läden 2023/24

Stores are places of sale, but also meeting points for communities, providing space for exchange and escapism. This transformation is anticipated through store design and is partly driven by new technologies. Transparency is a crucial element in this process. The barriers between inside and outside are disappearing, and stores are increasingly becoming part of urban societies, thereby gaining new relevance. The editorial team of TextilWirtschaft has selected the 52 most innovative and inspiring openings and renovations of this year and presents them in detail through images and text. Additionally, this time the focus is on the theme of community building in retail. A conversation with trend and innovation consultant Kim Karina Hausser about the relevance of communities for the future of shopping also directs attention to what lies ahead.
