Technical information

The construction of the shop interior is based on a combination of durable and elegant materials that enhance both functionality and aesthetics. The walls feature a refined plaster finish with decorative moldings, painted in rich green tones to create a vintage-inspired backdrop that highlights the floral arrangements. The flooring is covered in terrazzo, chosen for its durability and timeless appeal, providing a seamless surface that complements the overall design. The furniture is custom-made to balance practicality with visual harmony. Shelving units and display structures are crafted from white plywood with gold metal frames, selected for their lightweight yet sturdy construction, ensuring both flexibility in arrangement and a refined aesthetic. The sales counter follows the same design language, integrating subtle lighting details to accentuate the display of products. Lighting plays a crucial role in defining the space, with a combination of concealed LED strips, adjustable track lights, and vintage-inspired pendant fixtures. This layered lighting approach enhances product visibility while creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The large glass storefront, framed in green, allows natural light to flood the interior, reinforcing the connection between the shop and the surrounding urban environment. By carefully selecting materials and construction techniques, the design achieves a balance between vintage charm and modern functionality, ensuring a space that is both visually engaging and highly practical for daily operations.
