Christian Lahoude Studio

Based in New York, Christian Lahoude Studio designs footwear and cosmetics retail boutiques defined by kaleidoscopic mirrored surfaces, non-orthogonal metallic display channels, and perforated screens that visually expand spatial boundaries. This portfolio serves as a strong reference when detailing high-end commercial interiors that combine floating product displays, integrated lighting channels, and optical depth illusions to maintain sightlines across compact footprints.
