Newness and brightness fill the store interior with a series of contemporary masterpieces by Italy's foremost furniture-makers and design masters like Italian architect and designer Tobia Scarpa and designer Gio Ponti.
Echoing Zegna's efforts in sustainability, the Taikoo Li flagship store is infused with this spirit. Customers also have the opportunity to experience Oasi Zegna first-hand in a scaled-down version of the nature park thoughtfully replicated outside its original environment.

The Oasi Zegna garden in Taikoo Li is a walking pathway, showcasing several different botanical species on the building's terrace.
