If it wasn’t for the tulle dresses and toy houses at the shopfront, you wouldn’t have guessed that this wood-and-white boutique belonged to Le Petit Society, a local childrenswear and accessories label by Robyn Liang and Dylan Ong.
The mum-and-dad duo design comfy clothing that steer away from conventionally kiddy looks, while still being fun, versatile and age-appropriate. Their first boutique looks the part, too, with a minimalist, industrial-Scandi store design that features natural and textures surfaces like concrete screed, copper accents and raw plywood.
To create a sense of wander and wonder, the boutique is peppered with triangular silhouettes and motifs that resemble mountains. Ta.le Architects also designed The Playpen, an angular structure made up of modular pieces; primarily used as a display case, it can be transformed into a cosy storytelling corner or a shoe-fitting area.
The store features a series of cubicles called The Mailbox, where online shoppers can collect their purchases. “We wanted a delightful environment that was attractive to both kids and adults. The twilight sky-inspired ceiling adds a playful touch, while the party table is perfect for parents to get together,” says Yanling Tay, founder of Ta.le Architects, which designed the shop.
The spacious fitting rooms can be turned into a nursing room, too.
