About the project

The organisation of the store is structured around the design of the display system, which unfolds along a continuous wall defining the entire space.

These surfaces adopt a complex geometry that responds to the amplitude of the interior, introducing scale and rhythm. The displays are conceived as an articulated system of vertical and horizontal planes designed to support and present the eyewear, establishing a presence that is both light and structuring.

The remaining areas of the store extend this formal logic. Lacquered and transparent glass surfaces reinforce spatial continuity, while counters and display furniture follow the same geometric language, consolidating the unity of the space.

In contrast to the lightness of the suspended elements, the black sucupira timber floor introduces stability and material density, acting as a continuous base that anchors the interior.

The project establishes a controlled tension between formal dynamism and material restraint, defining a clear identity for the retail space.
