Retail Interior Design | Micheline Printing Boutique | Anagrama

Micheline is a printing boutique founded in the mid 70's. Back then, it was very uncommon to find a printshop that offered both design and high-end printing under the same roof. The boutique came to us because they needed their brand and store to express uniqueness, elegance, and modernity.
The space is inspired in the ambiance of print-shops in the seventies: it has a few contemporary accents such as the lighting, which gives the interiors a vanguardist atmosphere. We made sure to use a neutral color palette to focus all of the attention on the shelves holding the printing catalogues, as well as to emphasize the brand's presence............more

Retail Interior Design | OLIVINO | delicatessen shop | London | Pierluigi Piu

OLIVINO is a delicatessen shop complementary to the newly open restaurant OLIVOMARE, with which it shares the appealing aubergine coloured shopfront as well as a graphic taste for its interiors design. Of rather small proportions – if one only considers the part of it accessible to customers – this shop is limited within an about 40sqm room facing the public way. On its left side, as to the entrance, a staircase protected by a full height frameless glazed partition leads to the storage located in the basement and is adjacent to a perimetrical wall entirely covered by a cladding finished with a double layer (white and black) of thick opaque laminated plastic on which has been engraved a decorative pattern of variously oriented bottles and glasses, which highlights the predominantly sold product in this shop..........more

The space encourages pleasurable social spree among ordinary construction elements and extraordinary fashion to delight the eye and excite the mind.................more

Retail Interior Design | The Theurel & Thomas Pâtisserie | San Pedro | Mexico | Anagrama

One of the most important extensions of a brand, which has a business based in store selling, is the design and ambiance of the stores. The Theurel & Thomas pâtisserie has an enlightened space with an exclusivity and elegant atmosphere. The store location is in San Pedro, Mexico, Latin America's most affluent suburb.

White is a central part of the design and it contrasts with the French macarons colors. Details were an essential part of our work. We meticulously selected each porcelain piece creating a balance with sophisticated specks that made the value of the brand and the exclusivity of the product outshine........more

Retail Interior Design | Hugo Boss | New York | Callison

Callison partnered with Hugo Boss on the development of a new store designed exclusively for Manhattan's Meatpacking District - the first to showcase the complete men's and women's lines in one location.

Retail Interior Design | Alchemy Collections | Seattle | Heliotrope Architects

Alchemy Collections is a retail design project for a high-end home furnishing and décor store located in downtown Seattle. The Owners describe their brand as representing “a fusion between East and West, and a blend between the classical and contemporary.” They were looking for architecture that would represent this vision in their new flagship store. Our design challenge was to create an experience that supports the Alchemy brand, maximizes available floor area for sales and make use of the architecture as a means to draw shoppers into and throughout the store. Our solution includes the construction of a new mezzanine level, a sculptural stairway to draw visitors up to the new level and a koi-pond element at the entry to draw shoppers in from the street...........more

Retail Interior Design | Pimkie | Dan Pearlman

We paved the way for the transformation of Pimkie from a discount textiles company into a fashionable brand for the young generation. A brand strategy was developed that served as basis for a completely new concept in communication and retail.

First precise questions were posed concerning the status quo: What does Pimkie mean? What real relevance does the brand have for young female customers? What attitudes lay lurking behind it? From the responses dan pearlman created the »Feel Pimkie« strategy.......more

Retail Interior Design | The Fun Factory Store | Berlin | Germany | Karim Rashid

Fun Factory's sexy toy forms are sculptural, sensual, organic, smart and tasteful.

Elektra Bakery Interior Design | Edessa | Greece | Designed By Studioprototype

This shop is part of a chain of family-run bakeries called 'Elektra' located in Edessa, Greece. Studioprototype had the opportunity to redefine the look of its shops with this pilot project. The shop is small covering only thirty-five square metres and occupies a strategic corner plot on the main pedestrian high street. Working with a narrow, linear floor plan a rigorous language was developed for the shop based on a long marble food counter acting as a monolithic focal point of the spatial arrangement. Light and luminosity flood the interior of the bakery accentuating the food items on display like gold. Exquisite materials such as Carrara marble, wood and brass serve as the backdrop for all food products instilling the rustic and artisan aspect of making bread. A sense of craftsmanship is imbued with the exterior of the shop being entirely clad in cedar like a well tailored suit. Punctuating the cedar cladding on the long facade, a black powder coated steel window box projects outwards beyond the ‘crust’ of the shop to serve as a seating area and bar for customers inside and outside the shop.

Retail Interior Design | Surefoot Aspen | The los Angeles Design Group

The store’s design problem turns on an issue of legibility: Surefoot sells a fitting process that is unique to the industry, but the store is stocked with rows of intensively patterned and colored boots from immediately recognizable global brands. How can an intangible process supersede or visually insinuate itself into the slick glamour of an industrial design object? The diffusion of the custom-fitting process compounds this design problem; it occurs in a series of small episodes that are not immediately legible as having anything to do with skiing or footwear. In order to fit a boot, Surefoot uses a digital scanner to create a topographic map of the customer's foot, which is in sent to a computer numerically controlled mill to fabricate an orthotic insert. The process is completed by injecting rapid-hardening foam into the liner of a boot while the customer stands on a canted platform designed to simulate the position and resultant stresses of the foot and ankle against the ski boot while skiing. Uninitiated customers can't understand what the staff technicians are doing without a spatial system to indicate that each episode in the custom fitting process scattered throughout the store is part of a coherent whole and a recognizable brand.........more
