UnitFive on the third level, intimate experiences
were created within the open plan. The visual
transparency achieved with these artistic installations and applied finishes subtly guides, or rather
entices, shoppers from space to space.
"The space evokes the concepts of "Storm" and
"Forest" through art installations," Kim describes.
"These beautiful, handmade sculptural elements
create a bold impression while conveying aesthetic
beauty and providing general function to divide the
space without interrupting the visual landscape.
This is where the line between art and fashion
begins to blend, celebrating the sophistication and
elegance of the Saks Fifth Avenue brand and creating a most luxurious shopping experience."
Merchandise is curated with displays comprised
of an eclectic mix of found and custom furniture, fixtures, decorative lighting and accessories.
Oppici emphasizes that the product is the star at
Saks Fifth Avenue and that Saks believes the mannequin is the best platform to showcase product.
"We have developed a stable of mannequins that
are designed by our internal team and are exclusive
to us," Oppici says. "We have specific mannequins
for various areas of business that give us a specific
look and feel for the product."
The use of natural light was maximized throughout the store, exposing windows on the sales floor
wherever possible, in order to achieve a more
residential appeal while also celebrating the historic details of the building. The overall strategy was
carefully considered to highlight key merchandise
and display areas, as well as serving as visual cues. A
variety of decorative light fixtures and custom light
installations were then used to activate the ceiling
plan in unique ways in each department, such as

the Lasvit "Rain" and "Storm" glass sculpture in the
Designer department, which is comprised of eight
separate chandeliers and nearly three tons of clear
and frosted, fluted glass pieces.
"We hope our customers are surprised and delighted as soon as they enter the space," Oppici says.
"At major points of entry, there are dynamic, eyecatching design elements in view. The experience is
inviting-open floorplans maximize sightlines and
entice visitors to wander and explore. Comfortable
seating areas and the overall graciousness of the
environment and the offered amenities encourage
shoppers to linger and enjoy their time with Saks."
So, is it a gallery or department store? Yes
and yes.
