FIT-OUTS
arranged amid the layers of wood
and in niches. The spatial wooden
grid forms a continuous introverted
space that oscillates between open
and closed as one walks through it.
With constantly changing sunlight
— which partially enters the space
through the permeable wood walls
— the mood of the interior gradually
transforms during the day. Likewise,
the wood lattice filters out views from
the sidewalk creating an intimate
experience inside, where customers
can try the clothes on without outside
observation.
The supplemental elements are
realised in polished copper and are
developed for the store. Dresses are
presented on custom-made hangers
of solid copper. Copper rails run inside
the wooden walls, recessing the
clothes between the wood slats, to
maximise the walkable store area.
A mirror-like copper side table
reflects the surrounding store, while
clusters of copper tube lamps hang
from various points of the ceiling,
evenly illuminating the space.
When seen from outside, the interior
glows as inner light passes through
the wood lattice onto the sidewalks.
Views into the store gradually unfold
as one passes along the windows
creating changing perspectives. WIA
