Fame Agenda Store

 

Australian architect Matt Gibson has designed a shop interior for the fashion retailer Fame Agenda, located in the Docklands of Melbourne, Australia.

Involving concepts of ‘transparency and illusion’ and bringing customers minds in-between interior and exterior this store plays on the perspective of the ‘arcade’. A random and organic set of arches inspired by Thomas Heatherwick’s sculptural works merge to form a cave like enclosure from within the confines of the rectilinear shell. Providing intimacy and protection from the elevated & wind blown Docklands promenade the organic arches intend to shift the visitor inwards toward the end of the awkward ‘L ‘shaped plan & at the same time provide merchandising benches, walls and ceiling. The arches partially cover existing structural piers & terminate with mirrored cladding behind the sales counter seemingly extending the space and encouraging a play on perspective.

New Davide Groppi Showroom in Barcelona

The new showroom Davide Groppi in Barcelona is now open in the heart of Born. This is an exhibition space designed by the creative and multidisciplinary hop! design studio. The area is signed by the Italian interior designer Paolo Tosi, who shared, from a long time, friendship and feeling with Davide Groppi and its projects.

This is the first exhibition and single brand sale space of Davide Groppi in Spain, is an innovative concept in many aspects: not only is a place for exhibition and sales, but above all a space for projecting where designers and creatives can offer and share their experiences, united by the taste and the search for minimal and essential light.

Within this space, are located, in fact, other activities related to the design world, from fashion to photography through architecture. 200 square meters where white and black alternate in a game of full and empty; frameless windows and white divisions at different heights, in contrast to the walls with the texture of marble and iron, mark the working areas of the other activities developed into the area.

The showroom is aimed at both designers, architects, professionals and the general public. A space oriented to understand light, performed in its many applications and nuances of purity and functionality.

The Infinity Bridge

 

Designed by Expedition Engineering, The Infinity Bridge cuts a distinctive silhouette across the River Tees in Stockton England. A 230m-long concrete walkway is supported by a pair of asymmetric steel arches that appear to skip across the river like a pebble skimming water.

Speirs and Major Associates designed the lighting in such a way that the iconic twin arches reflect in the water at night to form the mathematical symbol for infinity – hence the name.

The designers bounced blue light off the water to light the underbelly of the deck and form a blue zone above the water. Cold white light was used to reveal the structural form and create the sense of a floating wave hovering just above the deck.
