Transparency and a direct connection to the profession
The Brief
The project involves the design of a jewelry store in the Les Corts neighborhood of Barcelona, located in a small space but strategically positioned at the corner of two major streets. The goal is to enhance the store’s visibility and create a sense of interior spaciousness, without sacrificing the necessary division of the space into distinct areas.
The design aims to strengthen the relationship between the jewelry store, the workshop, and the customer, incorporating the artisanal process as a visible part of the shopping experience.
Project Scope
The design emphasizes the facade as a key element, taking advantage of the corner location to give the store a stronger urban presence. The interior architecture relies on transparent partitions that allow the space to be divided into sections without visually fragmenting it, thereby enhancing the perception of spaciousness.
One of the central elements of the project is the integration of the watchmaking workshop, which is connected to the sales area through a glass opening. This direct connection allows customers to perceive the craftsmanship as part of the product’s value, reinforcing the identity of the space. The result is a bright, functional, and welcoming jewelry store where design and craftsmanship coexist naturally.
A space where jewelry and craftsmanship are showcased without barriers.
