During the design phase, a conscious effort was made to create a dynamic combination of unconventional forms and the use of materials that, at first glance, might not seem obvious for those specific applications. The starting point was to challenge expectations and approach materials in a new, surprising way, without compromising on cohesion or refinement.
A clear example of this is the use of a faux-marble painting technique in the curved passageway. This technique was carefully developed and precisely tailored to the natural stone chosen for the checkout counter, so that its appearance and veining are subtly reflected. Applying this painting technique to a curved surface creates a unique visual effect that further emphasizes the architectural form while simultaneously engaging in a strong dialogue with the materials used elsewhere in the interior. In this way, the passageway becomes not merely a functional zone, but a fully-fledged, expressive part of the overall concept.
In the design, we sought to create an interior that simultaneously has a distinct street-style vibe while still exuding a clear sense of luxury and sophistication. The goal was to create a tension between raw, unpolished elements and high-quality materials, where contrasts reinforce rather than clash with one another.
That’s why we opted for a bold combination of natural stone with concrete walls, which deliberately showcase their robust and raw character. Rugged, painted steel balustrades reinforce the industrial feel and give the space a raw, urban touch. This was complemented by uneven paintwork, which adds texture and depth and gives the interior an almost artistic, weathered look. By bringing these materials and finishes together, we’ve created an interior that feels bold and contemporary, yet is also luxurious and thoughtfully designed.
