The exterior of the building is designed in what is known as the blobitechture style, taking inspiration for its shape from organic, amoeba forms, and is covered in 15,000 anodized discs. Inside, Selfrige's is just as upscale and iconic as the outside, stocked up with all manner of designer clothing, shoes, accessories and even dining.
