Shanghai's ICCF Garden, a new landmark at the intersection of Hengshan Road and Dongping Road, seamless merges historic charm with contemporary flair.

This 2,000-square-meter establishment features four buildings: two dating back to the 1920s and two from the 1990s, symbolizing a perfect blending of different eras.

Exploring the garden, visitors can see a meticulously designed garden in the center, inspired by the flower fields of southern France. The entrance on Hengshan Road reveals the Silex Gourmet Cafe and the ICICLE women's fashion store, both housed in a restored three-story building. Walking further in, visitors will find ICICLE's menswear store, which doubles as a cultural space and bookstore. In the other renovated building, people will find Carven, an elite fashion brand, and Silex, a restaurant known for its fusion of French and Chinese cuisine.

The complex's design is a testament to global collaboration, with German architecture firm gmp Architekten and Belgian Bernard Dubois leading the design team. Italian brand Riva 1920's furnishings helped to complete the interior layout.

ICICLE, a local brand established in 1997, acquired the French label Carven in 2018, and found ICCF Group in 2021. The group operates in Shanghai and Paris, exemplifying the harmonious fusion of Chinese and French fashion.
