Covering some 5,000 sq. ft., the luxurious journey begins with a captivating floor-to-ceiling, black-framed window façade, opening the two-storey store directly onto the street. The interior design of 1010 Central is marked by specially crafted leather seating, marble flooring, subtle wood veneer and an eye-soothing plant wall. Vast array of phones and gadgets are creatively displayed in an unobtrusive setting of vintage trunks in stainless steel. By stepping into 1010 Central, customers get transported to the 1010 elite lifestyle.
Using a clever play of space and light, the grandeur of the raised marble platform by the entrance is accentuated by mood lighting, which are embedded into the ceiling wood panels. It offers a perfect platform and creates a theatrical presence for hosting a variety of events including product launch and performances.
