Luxury Maison Montblanc introduces its latest boutique at Shangri-La Plaza, Manila, showcasing the brand’s newest NEO 4.0 retail concept. Designed to transcend the traditional retail environment, the boutique offers a refined and immersive experience that reflects Montblanc’s deep-rooted heritage in writing while inviting guests to embark on their own journeys of creativity and self-expression.
Every detail of the space has been curated to pay homage to the Maison’s rich legacy of craftsmanship. The boutique fully immerses guests in the world of Montblanc through a warm and welcoming atmosphere created by innovative materials such as paper, travertine, brass, and dark oak. Design elements including ink-inspired effects and mountain motifs further echo the Maison’s connection to writing and exploration.
The iconic silhouette of Montblanc’s nib is seamlessly integrated into the furnishings and walls—a subtle tribute to the legendary Meisterstück, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2024.
Montblanc’s handcrafted leather goods, designed to accompany customers through their everyday journeys, take center stage in a minimalist and sophisticated display that spans half of the boutique’s wall. Meanwhile, writing instruments and timepieces are presented within a library-inspired setting, evoking a sanctuary for imagination, storytelling, and artistry. This thoughtfully designed space encourages guests to explore the art of writing and experience the Maison’s creative spirit.
The new Montblanc boutique is located on the Ground Level of Rustan’s Shangri-La and is open daily from 11:00 AM. Montblanc is also available at Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Cebu, Greenbelt 5, and NuStar Cebu in the Philippines.
