Partial reimagines the comic book store as an immersive narrative space where design and storytelling merge. Inspired by comic panels, the glass panels and brass structures frame visitors’ journeys, turning them into active participants who shape the unfolding story. Moving through the store is like navigating “panels” in a living comic, where imagination fills the gaps and blurs the boundaries between reader, character, and creator. This dynamic environment fosters a shared, evolving narrative, with every visitor contributing partial moments to the overarching tale. More than just a store, Partial embodies a unique narrative that grows richer with each visitor’s experience.
