The Lladró store has been in the works for some time now, but we're happy to report that this porcelain paradise is now open inside the Design District's Palm Court. Inside, it feels like a museum of modern art with the brand's classic sculptures and new, innovative ones laid out spaciously upon tables and inside curved edge shelves. Inside you'll also find a selection of lighting, which is Lladró's latest venture.

It's the Spanish sculpture brand's third U.S. flagship, and the boutique was designed by Spanish designer Jaime Hayon, one of Wallpaper Magazine's top 100 most influential designers this year and who's responsible for other modern, luxury retail stores across the globe.

"The interior design is inspired by the idea of creating a space where you feel at ease, where your eyes can wander and settle on the details and, in short, a place to let yourself be captivated," says Rosa Lladró, president of the comapany. "The simplicity of the display elements creates a platform where diversity does not produce confusion but offers each piece space to breath."
