Young Fashion Store

This concept for a clothing store is dominated by the rainbow colored central zone, that functions as an eyecatcher from the exterior and an orientation point inside the space. Special offers and product highlights are presented here. The zone also contains a small lounge for waiting as well as the dressing rooms.

Beaux

As an exclusive fashion store, Beaux is structured in three different zones. At the front ten mannequins are placed into the space to create a "face to face" situation of the presented clothing and the customers. Above each mannequin a spot and lit ring provide individual lighting and create a focus point. On both sides of the showroom, wall integrated show cases, that are wrapped in artificial crocodile skin, lead into the depth of the space. A cherry blossom pattern is used throughout the shop on various surfaces and furniture. Behind the counter a metal curtain, made from a coarse mesh divides the space. By using a different size of chain elements the Beaux logo is subtly integrated into the curtain.

In the back of the space, clients can enjoy a private fashion show, comfortably seated on custom designed furniture, to view the latest fashion on living bodies and make their purchase decision. Beaux. Be beautiful.

Te Wero Bridge

The purpose of the "Te Wero" bridges´ design is to generate a unique landmark for the Auckland (NZ) harbor area.
