LONDON -- Businesswire -- Last week, COS opened the doors to its Biblioteksgatan, Stockholm store - the first in Europe to adopt the brand’s new store concept design. This new concept is part of the brand’s ambition to create fully circular store environments. Spatial techniques, engagement of the senses and playfulness with light create a vibrant yet intimate and tactile setting.

As the European debut and largest new concept store to date, Biblioteksgatan will feature a number of more sustainable materials and fittings as part of the brand’s goal to reduce store CO2 emissions while maximising the lifecycle of all its interiors.

“The Biblioteksgatan opening marks an important moment for COS in our interior design journey and we’re thrilled to have a European flagship in the heart of Stockholm. Bringing our new store concept to life has been a brand-wide effort - developed by our talented team of in-house designers, and supported by sustainability, interiors and built environment specialists.

Whether through endlessly recyclable material or by reallocating store material in new openings, our new concept is a huge step towards becoming a more conscious brand, and we are excited to introduce it to more markets in the future.”
