On 26 March 2023, the Mercedes-Benz Concept Store shut its doors for the final time. Everything it stood for will live on, including our vision of a greener future for mobility. We will continue what we started in the store: much-needed conversations around eco consciousness, innovations rooted in sustainability, and new experiences with our growing fleet of all-electric luxury vehicles.
In line with the founding principles of the Concept Store to eliminate and minimise waste, materials within the store will be reused or repurposed where possible.

A Conversation on Greener Possibilities.
To usher in the next phase of this journey towards greater sustainability, the Concept Store hosted It All Continues from Here: A Conversation on Greener Possibilities. Moderated by Charlotte Mei, our guest speakers discussed their personal sustainability journeys, their own climate-motivated platforms, and how society can progress as a whole towards greater awareness.

Chris Morriss
Co-founder of reXtore, a social enterprise committed to developing a circular design and implementation ecosystem for the built environment sectors.
“The thing about a circular economy is it starts with design. You need to be quite creative about the ways you can repurpose; about recovering, repainting or recladding, and what you plan to do at the end of life.”
