Our concept

YME Universe opened its doors on September 3rd 2014 and has become one of the most inspiring, leading and curated concept stores in Scandinavia. YME Universe has been featured in international and national magazines and newspapers such as Wall Paper, Frame, Monocle, Aftenposten, D2 and Finansavisen. On November 17th, 2016, YME Universe was nominated to the Store of Year by Costume Magazine.

YME is located between the Royal Palace and the Parliament in Karl Johans gate 39, in a beautiful and historic building from 1844 previously described as a “Paris in miniature”. YME is inspired by stores such as Colette in Paris, Corso Como in Milan, and Dover Street Market in London, and it is a curated universe of fashion, art, interior, and design.

YME was designed by YME Studios in a collaboration with internationally renowned architecture firm Snøhetta. The retail space and interior was designed as a multifunctional area, where customers and visitors are encouraged to meet and exchange culture, ideas and experiences with cosmetic excellences.
