Furthermore, we sought to set the space apart and direct clients to the storefront located at a traffic line junction by contrasting the black flooring, walls and ceiling against the white-based environment surrounding the premises.

Moreover, we inlaid the papabubble logotype into the checkout counter, taking after the idea of a candy that reveals the same pattern no matter where it is cut.
