“The virtual world dips into the physical with this new concept store. After BonLook’s early success with online sales, it was time to create a complementary, tangible connection to the brand,” says Ædifica Design Director Stéphane Bernier.

The boutique offers a fresh take on shopping for prescription glasses. There is no cash register or counter in this hassle-free environment. Customers carry out transactions in-store but online, as if they were shopping from home or a café. Human interaction is more relaxed, the experience more rewarding. The limited space inspired Ædifica’s designers to create a minimalist layout with floor-to-ceiling mirrored walls that enhance the beauty of the frames on display and convey a sense of spaciousness.

Ædifica worked with top names in the Quebec design industry to achieve a total look: Lambert etfils lighting, Larose Guyon table accessories, Coop ÉTABLI furniture and Dahls uniforms. “The boutique is a superb example of Quebec savoir-faire – it’s something we can all be proud of,” Bernier added.

A second concept boutique is set to open at Carrefour Laval in May.
