The project tries to update the concept of the traditional grocery store, adapting it to new and different situations. A black wood perimeter is proposed, operating as a wrap housing the facilities and large appliances, together with a central piece of furniture, made of pine wood, that colonizes the different spaces in which the franchise can be located.

This modular system allows the creation of multiple custom geometric configurations according to the particularities of the premises to be intervened or the convenience of establishing certain uses to a greater or lesser extent according to regulations, location, amount of initial investment or marketing strategies. They have common heights, geometries and material, so a homogenous formal identity is always maintained, being COLONO recognizable anywhere in the world.

The furniture, which is presented as exempt, colonizes the space accommodating its position and shape to the perimeter in which it is inserted, and illuminating both the exposed product and the space, generating an intimate and welcoming atmosphere.
