Furniture showroom in Jakarta designed by Dymitr Malcew is referencing the factory, emphasising on the spirit of authenticity and energy.
The main goal of the project was to create a unique yet flexible space that functions as an office as well as well as a showroom. The design concept is based on the story of the furniture factory, the idea was to bring the unique and authentic spirit all the way to Jakarta while adding local influences without being too literal. Raw and natural finishes and textures such as cement, wood, felt and metal used throughout the space, communicate honesty, authenticity, craft and the human approach. Visitors are welcomed by a futuristic feature signage wall with a logo reinterpreted in black steel, LED lights and moss used as a backdrop. Showroom and office areas are interconnected, however, a screen divider with traditional Indonesian cut-out pattern is creating a sense of privacy.
Situated in the Toulousian’s historic district, a mansion house’s wing is renovated to host a Sessun’s shop. Fonctions are spread among the 4 levels of the building in order to avoid partition walls within each floor. Reserves take place in the basement ; the retail space is on the ground floor related to the street ; the first floor become the show room to host special events and the attic space is dedicated to the staff. The building is purged of interventions that have taken place over time to give back to see the original construction materials: brick walls, wooden floors and beams. Creating floor openings ,by taking off wood planks from it ,allow the difusion of light from a glass roof the the ground floor and reveals the built volume of the initial construction.
Moschino is opening a new flagship store in the heart of the French capital on rue Saint-Honoré. Creative Director Jeremy Scott wanted to transform the magnificent late-18th-century building in pierre de Paris into an exhibit-like space inspired by modern art galleries.
The new store concept, which was conceived and curated by architect Fabio Ferrillo in respect of the original essence of the interior, covers 270 square meters divided on two levels between the ground and first floors, which are visually connected through a two-story space and imposing curved staircase that becomes the focus of the architectural perspective.
The rehabilitation of this barn in the countryside outside of Aix-en-Provence gives Objekto, a furniture distribution company, an unusual showcase. The creations of Brazilian designers such as Paulo Mendes da Rocha, Mauricio Klabin and Rafic Farah are displayed with a view of Sainte-Victoire Mountain, in the heart of the Provence region.
The building retains its existing volume, and its gable roof is slightly raised to obtain a comfortable ceiling height on the first floor. Half of the floor was redone in poured concrete to create an easily convertible single level. The central shear wall is separated from the facade walls for more fluidity. It outlines the four areas of the project: reception and storage room on the ground floor, office and showroom upstairs.
In 2011, Bernard Arnault entrusts to Christian de Portzamparc the design of a flagship at the heart of the elegant district of Cheongdam-dong, on the avenue Apgujeong in Seoul for the brand Dior. Inspired by high fashion creations of Dior, the building is a manifesto with its white lines which wave towards the sky in a subtle asymmetry, evocation of the canvas, genesis of all haute couture pieces.
Unlike the conventional image from the brand of MISSHA, the bold and confident transition to provide new and exotic experiences from the powerful identity of “Gallery M” flagship-concept store within Gangnam of Seoul is open to appeal to the Millennial Generation.
Designed by exexe Centor’s European HQ in Warsaw is a multifunctional space acting as a background for company’s dynamic activities. The main aim was to create an elegant, smart place that stimulates creativity. Space perfect for business meetings as well as continuous and subtle display of high quality terrace doors at the same time.
The spatial organisation of the place is composed around three folded-wall objects, inserted into the existing rectangular premise, out of which two – so called Display Stands – constitute a main products’ display in the Showroom. Their shape was designed in such a way as to divide the premise into series of smaller consecutive areas, each used for a different purposes: entrance area – lounge zone – the garden – reception and staircase – office and conference room – kitchen and toilet. A set of four Centor doors was installed as a part of the space-dividing elements, taking advantage of their basic architectural role as a border of the interior and the exterior. Following that feature all added walls have different finishes made of distinct surfaces, one always resembling the exterior while the other using the typical interior materials. This simple rule continued in all other design decisions reflects Centor door’s actual structure in which the aluminum frame visible on the one side is usually finished with a timber overlay on the other side. This design and use of suitably selected materials consequently carried out throughout the space introduced an order into the Showroom and created a unique character in each zone.

Like a prism dispersing monochromatic light into a spectrum of colours, khromis is a catalyst for transformation. Each frame empowers the individual to reveal a whole palette of emotions and personalities. Resembling a pair of glasses, the logo is also an expression of refracted light paths. The interior uses mirrors to create reflections and perspective, manoeuvring light to display the product in the best possible way. A touch of wood warms up the interior, along with the coffee bar in the corner, creating a comfortable atmosphere for a multi -sensory experience.
