Poured terrazzo flooring curves up
into lath-and-wire-mesh-plastered walls, while ceilings
flow down into suspended fixtures for a fluid visual
appeal. Hanging fixtures and floating seating add
a cave-like feel. Merchandise is highlighted in
niches in suspended fixtures and perimeter coves.
An opening in the upper-level floor around the column
encourages clients to check out products downstairs.
Thanks to the self-illuminated suspended fixtures,
the ceiling surfaces do not contain any lighting.
