Concept urbanwear store in Guimarães, built to
celebrate the 25th anniversary in the business, creating a new brand company.
:: An experienced entrepreneur aiming to go
further in the apparel trade, wanted to celebrate the working jubilee,
investing in a new concept philosophy. The goal was to design a solution full
of urbanity, reflecting a cosmopolitan status with a dynamic, eye-catching
overall look, reflecting a customer urban lifestyle profile. Inspired by some
raw elements from the store itself - concrete walls or an ordinary ceiling
waffle type slabs - together with some old bricks and tiles, we decided to
accept the challenge of re-using and re-purposing the existing materials. The wish
was to mix-and-match furniture, materials, lighting and graffiti - in order to
get a profuse imaginary of the whole and chaotic metropolis - but, saving a
clean perception for the eyes. A new identity originating a new logo, branding
colors and a innovative interiors design. The retail area - with more than 250 sqm
- was filled up with stucco boards in dynamic asymmetries, bringing balance
between full-white look walls with bricks and concrete contrast, clashing with
some wall art and exploding colors, made it all! Vernissage and lift off!
:: Teamwork with Miguel Januário, graffiter.
