Sonos flagship store, New York City

Sonos adds #retail acoustic design to a #visual merchandising experience that recreates the home environment with mini-houses where the customer can experience their technology with exquisite detail.

The brand’s first ever flagship store, occupying a spacious 4,200 sq.ft. [390 sqm.]. ground floor unit of a late 19th-century building, features an interior design that was created in collab with local design practice Partners & Spade.

Seven state-of-the-art Sonos listening rooms are at the very core of the #retail design. Each of the rooms has been acoustically designed to replicate a great home listening environment and allow the nifty Sonos electronics to sell themselves.

Also, beveled glass and a parallel wall that alternates absorptive and reflective materials also work together to properly create the ultimate sound quality of each room, which boasts a different design and is fitted out with different product from the current Sonos range, and obviously, the very latest is on display.

It incorporates contrasting textures and perforated walls, and furnishings comprise of custom-made chairs, tables and sofas, in addition to bookshelves and handwoven rugs. Strewn across the store, are artworks and props that celebrate music culture.
