YUN Flagship Store in Berlin

Located on Kurfürstendamm in Berlin, the YUN flagship store was designed by Gonzalez Haase AAS as a contemporary retail space where light, colour and material shape the customer experience. Inspired by the nearby Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church and its iconic stained-glass façade by Egon Eiermann, the interior explores how colour responds to architecture, reflection and changing daylight.

At the centre of the store stands a faceted mirrored column, reflecting visitors and light throughout the day while creating a visual connection to the architecture outside. Curved aluminium display tables, warm timber surfaces and suspended curtains organise the interior into a sequence of carefully composed spaces, balancing product presentation with quieter areas for consultation and service.

Walls throughout the store are painted in GO HA 05 Glass Base by Gonzalez Haase AAS. Developed as part of the architects' palette for Blēo, the soft blue-grey tone references the colour of light passing through glass, establishing a calm architectural backdrop that complements aluminium, timber and reflective surfaces. Rather than dominating the interior, the colour subtly reinforces the spatial concept, allowing light and material to define the atmosphere.

The project demonstrates how architectural colour can become an integral part of a retail environment, where carefully considered surfaces strengthen the relationship between architecture, craftsmanship and everyday experience.
