By the entrance, in blue, the front desk rhymes with the light boxes that are occasionally opened in the ceiling. On the outside, the logo is all over. By simplifying the image the storefronts were solved. In a matured design, in a lacework-like manner, it is endlessly repeated in a double glass cloth, slightly lagged, creating a pattern that sways as we move. In this almost abstract patch, several boxes are opened, that like visors reveal the store’s interior.
