The\u00a0Prix Versailles<\/a>\u00a0has unveiled its list of the world\u2019s most beautiful emporiums for 2025. The list of eight emporiums \u201crepresents the pinnacle of the beauty that commerce is capable of producing,\u201d according to Prix Versailles Secretary General J\u00e9r\u00f4me Gouadain.<\/p>\n

In December, three projects from the list will be given additional titles of a World Title \u2013 Prix Versailles, Interior, or Exterior.

Below, we have published the eight projects comprising the World’s Most Beautiful Emporium list 2025. You can compare the projects with those of previous years by following our ongoing coverage of the series\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Description: Cartier\u2019s connection to Belgium dates back to 1912, when the Maison created two diadems for Queen Elisabeth. Now, arts and crafts have come together with extraordinary expertise to initiate an unprecedented dialogue between nature and architecture, in a modern reinterpretation of Cartier\u2019s most emblematic imagery.<\/p>\n

Description: An invitation to cruise through eight themed rooms, each as impressive as the last, including Origins, Voyage, Perfume, Books (featuring a library trunk belonging to the Maison where Ernest Hemingway kept his manuscripts), Sport, Fashion & Leathergoods (retracing the evolution of Louis Vuitton\u2019s iconic handbags) and Workshop (where various production secrets are revealed).<\/p>\n

Description: The project reimagines a modern structure through a complete architectural and interior renovation, blending it into the neighbourhood\u2019s historical context. Here, the traditional materials of brick and metal are confidently reinterpreted for the ages. Horizontal gaps inspired by window blinds disrupt the dense texture, softening the mass and allowing light to filter through. The monumental \u2013 even dizzying \u2013 interior is endowed with large, ascending arched openings. Still, a spectacular, unified logic provides for easy circulation within this forest of books.<\/p>\n

Description: In the Quadrilatero della moda, Tiffany & Co. has inaugurated its biggest European flagship store yet inside the neoclassical 19th century Palazzo Taverna. Aside from the fa\u00e7ade featuring blue Mura- no glass lunettes along with artistic windows merging Tiffany\u2019s legendary design with iconic Milanese style, Peter Marino Architect has elevated the brand\u2019s cultural messaging on art, history and heritage across the building\u2019s three storeys.<\/p>\n

Description: The new Rolex flagship store is an extraordinary reinterpretation, a seamless blend of the famous watchmaker\u2019s visual identity with Japanese aesthetics. For this four-storey project spanning more than 1,000 m2, the studio Curiosity delivered a unique fa\u00e7ade where hints of deep green filter down from the first floor, delicately diffusing the brand\u2019s iconic colour to the street. From there, the entrance discreetly guides visitors into a tranquil interior just waiting to be explored.<\/p>\n

Description: Everything here is designed to foster a sense of a total, unified whole. A two-storey terrace spanning Floors 4 and 5 allows visitors to enjoy cool breezes while still feeling the lively atmosphere of the streets. A rooftop garden steps down to a liberating space on Floor 12 with a panoramic view. Turning architecture into delicious, intimate joy: through the interplay of brilliance and transparency, the use of warm colours, and alternations between solids and voids, Toraya is a new icon in the Ginza district.<\/p>\n

Description: In response to Malaysia\u2019s tropical climate, its fins act like louvred shutters, carefully angled to control solar radiation inside a monumental atrium. The store is laid out across three levels. The display tables are on the lowest level, which connects directly to the rest of the mall. People can take a sculptural glass and quartz staircase or a glazed lift to the shop\u2019s other levels, enjoying multiple lines of sight all the way up to the lush tropical garden at the top.<\/p>\n

Description: The space is laid out around a sculptural stairwell made up of 55 tonnes of steel ribbons. Named The Landscape, it feels like a smooth, lyrical climb up a hillside. Reconfigured in the brand\u2019s iconic Lumi\u00e8re green, the different areas have been refreshed with bold artistic references, like rugs swirling around pillars, as if paint were streaming down from the ceiling. Rounded lines here and elsewhere contribute to the flow and bounty of the customer experience.<\/p>\n
