Kuriosity comprises an online retail platform linked to this first physical store showcasing a selection of fashion, design, artisanal products and art work. More than a typical retail store, Kuriosity is designed as a curated experience of discovery where products on display are supplemented with an additional layer of rich interactive media serving to attract and engage with the customer. Kuriosity’s iconic infinity box window display changes colour to attract and when customers walk by, hidden products in boxes behind the seemingly infinite glass portal lights up inviting them to step in.

K11 First Museum Retail in the world. A revolutionary museum retail concept and a hybrid model of art and commerce founded by Mr Adrian Cheng in 2008, K11 is the world’s first original brand to pioneer the blend of three essential elements of Art • People • Nature. Art - K11 not only displays a permanent collection of local young artists’ works, but also allows the public to appreciate different local artworks and performance during shopping and leisure through the provision of various multi-dimensional spaces. This can help enhance the communication and exchanges between local artists and the public, nurture habits of art appreciation, and allow young artists to have more opportunities for showcasing their works so as to foster the development of local art. People - K11 manages, reorganizes and integrates humanity, history and geography of the adjacent regions from various perspectives in different cities. It revitalizes, regenerates and recreates the humanistic experience, art and culture in the regions so as to create a unique K11 multicultural living area. Nature - Various green design and technology concepts are taken into account in the interior architecture of K11 projects so as to minimize the negative impacts on the natural environment and upgrade the overall quality of urban public premises. Designed with a garden concept, K11 features a multidimensional natural landscape with a variety of local plants, green roof, vertical greening and urban farming, and creates a perfect integration of natural space and local culture so that visitors feel like indulging in an urban oasis and are inspired to consider the intimate relationship between human and nature.
