The basic Retail designs of both shops are based on the rudimentary idea of “GRID”.

 

A grid of black metal holding white acrylic display boxes runs on the left side wall of the shop. Grids of multiple threads are generated for the display window which holds the product. Display Area sits on the foreground of Mosaic grid tiles running in multiple directions. Customized lighting keeping in mind the required lux level in the orthogonal grid runs below the ceiling. First Floor Retail space is conceived as an “infinite space”. Glazed flooring and Reflective Metallic Ceiling reflect the space to infinity.
