The fashion industry is in perpetual transformation and throughout time, it has always kept a close dialog with the tendencies and behaviors of the consumer.
The concept for Mila store’s design is to bring a home to a commercial environment. We strived to work with natural elements that would bring comfort to the space, making the customer feel welcome through the use of affective memory thus making the experience of the purchase a pleasurable one. The idea is to bring stories, values and memories that would connect with anyone, with a careful and unique décor that would reveal itself in every minute detail.
In December 2018, the first contemporary craft-experience-shop in Brazil, Espaço Colletivo – Casa Manual, opened at Morumbi Shopping, in São Paulo, with areas dedicated to shopping, food, workshops, seminars, play, concerts, work, and relaxation. The site design, by Galeazzo Design, is out of this world and brings a new concept for space-people interaction.
The Project
“Experience-environments are the future for architecture and design,” says designer Fabio Galeazzo, Masters’ in Creativity and Innovation by Universidade Fernando Pessoa, in Portugal, and creative director of the Galeazzo Design studio, who, in the last four years, has dedicated great time to researching people/environment interface.
Bressanella Agricultural Pavilion is located in Besana, in Brianza, which is one of the most densely populated areas in Italy and Europe, where land has been consumed to commercial and residential uses at sky-high rates. In this context, a small farm has yet decided to bet on sustainable and ethical values, against mainstream trends being part of the Short Food Supply Chain thus enabling a closer relationship between producers and consumers. Therefore the key concepts of the project are state-of-the-art technology, sustainability and a “short” production-consumption configuration. The pavilion has a simple architectural shape, in which two volumes slightly rotated between them follow the natural configuration of the land, supported by a basement that also acts like an “edge” for the rear slope.
Les Dada East is a hair & styling salon located near Bastille in the heart of Paris. Its Italian founder Edoardo Seghi has created a salon that offers more than haircuts and a barbershop.

Edoardo commissioned Joshua Florquin Architecture to create a new concept and interior design that was in line with its philosophy and the Italian eco-inspired cosmetic brand Davines that they use.

Spazio 21 is a women's clothing shop on the ground floor of an old building in the town of Gioia del Colle (Bari). It overlooks a small tree-lined square from which you can appreciate the elegance of the amber facade and on which the entrance and the three windows are openings surrounded by the black profile of the fixtures and existing stone moldings. Crossing the threshold, the first element that captures attention is the “foliage” wallpaper with light golden brushstrokes that makes the atmosphere impalpable and sublime. It seduces people and invites them to discover the store or to sit on the iconic LCW chair reading a magazine. The space envelops and reduces the distances between sale and people, describing a story through communicating rooms.
We took on a restoration project for a coffee shop run by two brothers.
The building we were requested to renovate was a rental building which had traditionally been used as a base by a post office etc. for commercial purposes. The building was planned to be dismantled after more than 50 years of serving. In order to make it usable as a shop, reinforcement of pillars including the ones on the tilted second floor was essential. While the pillar reinforcement required the outer wall to be dismantled and repaired, it would put great pressure on the limited budget. Instead, we decided to make use of the big space which was too much for the brothers in the first place and build a new store space without fixing the outer wall. We drew inspiration from an episode that coffee production is agriculture and installed sheets of glass on a wooden frame to build a box-like structure resembling a greenhouse.
