Chiasso Retail Stores

We designed two award-winning stores for Chiasso, the international retailer of high-end housewares and office accessories. The goal was to create a theatrical setting for the products. We accomplished this by enhancing the merchandise with lively color schemes and floating and fixed architectural pieces, including platforms and cabinets.

In one store, bold colors and simple geometric patterns order the space. We also played with scale to engage the shopper’s attention. Placing small objects on large architectural forms adds drama to the display of the merchandise. In the second store, product displays are finished with faux materials. The walls, which depict a blue fog, further the impression of a stage set.

Our Mission

We believe that architecture is a collaborative art. We actively involve our clients and builders in the design process. The image of a project is selected by the owner from a menu of potential images or concepts generated by our office as a starting point for synthesis and refinement.
