The Rag & Bone store design team is composed of store design, visual merchandise, in-house fabrication shop, and operations, in which Ben led the design project manager role overseeing the lifespan of the design as well as the construction process of the flagship store
A PLAY ON EXISTING CONDITIONS
In recognizing beauty in its existing conditions, the team faced many compromising, yet opportunistic moments throughout the store design process. The oddly sloped roof, the intermittent array of structural columns, and the protruding existing sprinkler pipes from its previous occupancy were harnessed to create happy accidents throughout the shopper experience
