A linear route designed to showcase everything
The Brief
The project involves the design of a store in downtown Caldes de Montbui to showcase a jewelry designer’s collections. The main challenge stems from the characteristics of the space itself: a long, narrow, vaulted space with significant geometric constraints, combined with the client’s need to display the entire product line.
The design seeks to address these conditions through a clear and bold solution capable of organizing the space, making the products easy to view, and offering a comfortable shopping experience within a complex architectural framework.
Project Scope
The design is structured around a continuous display wall that runs the length of the space from the facade to the back of the store. This element serves as the backbone of the project, centralizing product displays and naturally guiding the visitor’s path.
Opposite this display wall is the sales area, aligned along the opposite wall. This face-to-face layout creates a direct relationship between the products and customer service, optimizing the use of space and enhancing the functionality of the store. The interior design features a neutral palette of white tones, which highlights the jewelry and enhances the brightness of the space.
The slate flooring and the orange back wall introduce a contrast in materials and colors that adds character to the space, breaking up the linearity of the layout and visually marking the end of the shopping path. The result is a bright, orderly, and expressive store where the architecture serves the product.
A continuous wall that transforms spatial constraints into an exhibition asset.
