MITHRIDATE Boutique, designed by SLT Design, is located in Guangzhou, China. The avant-garde fashion brand constantly draws inspiration from theater and stage. Building on this concept, SLT Design transforms the shopping experience into an immersive theatrical journey, creating a captivating space inspired by the “”Sphere”” concept—a realm where reality and illusion seamlessly merge to capture the brand’s essence and atmospheric identity.

This spatial experiment bridges theatrical scenes with retail innovation, aligning with MITHRIDATE’s philosophy of “Fashion for Art.” The boutique stands as a shimmering proscenium stage amid the urban landscape, presenting each curated item through exquisite design. The space becomes a sanctuary for self-expression, championing authentic stylistic freedom.

SLT Design reinterprets theatrical elements—such as stages, curtains, elevated platforms, and spotlights—as spatial syntax. Through intricate narrative-driven design, SLT crafts an environment that blurs the boundaries between reality and illusion. Visitors transition from observers to active participants within this fusion of fashion and aesthetics.

By focusing on performance, storytelling, and ritual, SLT Design encapsulates the essence of theater. Through carefully orchestrated scenes, the space engages all senses, guiding visitors on an introspective journey of self-discovery—ultimately arriving at the metaphorical “inner sphere.”
