The streets of affluent Cheongdam-dong have welcomed another luxury flagship. Seoul’s largest luxury retail hub is now home to the Fendi Palazzo Seoul, a four-storey standalone that fuses the maison’s Roman heritage against the backdrop of the downtown Seoul.
Designed by its in-house Fendi Architecture Department, the flagship is a confluence of tradition and experimentation. Clad in geometric cuts of stainless steel and floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the storefront is adorned with LED arches recalling Fendi’s headquarters in Rome.

The modern interpretations of Fendi’s Roman roots continue within the boutique. Opulent minimalism is highlighted, as Brutalist design principles are subverted with the house’s signature luxe treatment. Rough cement beams are juxtaposed with lush champagne metal, marble, and steel, reiterating Fendi’s spirit of dualism. Inside, find four unique marble types in distinct palettes which demarcate each floor of the 750sqm facility, and a curated mix of contemporary luxe furnishings—like custom made bronze display tables by designer Roberto Sironi, and Mirror artworks by artist Fernando Mastrangelo.
