A boutique can express its origins through more than familiar city landmarks. Delvaux’s new space at Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Tainan Place brings together references to Belgian architecture, furniture and food. A brick-red architectural vocabulary leads back to the house’s Brussels headquarters; turned-wood forms shape the central table; mussels and fries become sculptural displays. Following those connections offers a way to read the store beyond a single photogenic corner.
The central table sits within open shelving and a warm geometric setting.
Look at the arrangement, not only the colour
Delvaux says the Arsenal façade draws on L’Arsenal, its historic Brussels headquarters. Repeated geometric elements translate the building reference into a new setting. Brick red makes the design recognisable, while the arrangement of units and edges creates depth.
Related shapes appear in the interior photographs: panels combining rounded ends and straight edges support handbags, with contrasting colours creating a rhythm. That is a visible design connection, not evidence that the display and the bags use identical materials or manufacturing methods.
From architecture to the surface of a bag
The brand explains its Arsenal leather technique through the Brillant Arsenal: leather is cut into individual elements and assembled by hand to form a geometric texture with an architectural character. The repeated units in the store provide a useful comparison with the structure on the bag.
Visitors interested in the craft can look at overlapping edges and how the patterned body relates to curves and handles. Practical questions about weight, opening and carrying capacity remain separate. The release does not give prices, dimensions or live stock for every displayed piece, so the photographs are not a complete shopping catalogue or a basis for a performance verdict.
Rounded wall panels and seating bring the geometry to different scales.
A central table changes the scale
According to the brand, the long central table takes inspiration from traditional Belgian turned-wood furniture. The supplied photographs show shaped legs, warm wood tones and open displays, with rounded seating bringing the setting closer to the scale of familiar furniture.
Tables, shelves, wall arrangements and glass cabinets offer different viewing distances rather than placing everything behind a single barrier. This describes the pictured layout; it does not establish the store’s service process, appointment requirements or availability of every item on display.

Mussels and fries add a lighter note
Three-dimensional mussels-and-fries installations introduce a reference to Belgian food culture. Glossy black shell shapes, slender golden elements and small leather accessories turn an everyday visual reference into a display. The playful detail creates an accessible entry point into a store otherwise rich in geometric and craft references.
Look at the contrast in scale between the shells and the bags, and how the red background makes the dark forms stand out. These are elements of the interior design. They do not imply that the boutique serves food, sells the sculptures or offers the pictured objects as a single product set.
Mussels-and-fries sculptures share the display with small leather pieces.
