| The remodel of this 30,000-sq.-ft. space elevates the supermarket environment to embody the affluent Galleria image. Three illuminated feature walls create a boulevard through the store while offering cross-merchandising opportunities. A centrally located checkout separates two major zones, which are distinguished by large-scale light fixtures. Detailed fixtures and gondolas display food in a gallery-like setting. Round fruit shapes are repeated in their fixturing in the produce area, where an earthy color palette establishes an organic experience. |

| With the building’s historic landmark status prohibiting attachments to walls, ceilings, and floors, this 16,000-sq.-ft. gourmet store maximizes display opportunities through effective fixturing. Lighting is cleverly mounted to floor fixtures, which weave around original columns and piers. The sharply angled lighting frames capitalize on height while keeping merchandise from being dwarfed by the cavernous ceiling. Made of stainless steel, walnut, and Indian granite, the massive fixtures produce a sleek, present-day look against the textured walls. |

| Inspired by the Wiener Werkstatte movement, this 800-sq.-ft. new store incorporates a sensual art nouveau style using geometry, high-contrast graphic images, and luxurious materials such as milk-white glass, chocolate-stained wood, and bronze resin. A self-consumption presentation case topped by backlit frosted glass and framed by glowing bookend stations beckons shoppers into the store. Heavily antiqued mirrors evoke the brand’s Old World heritage. Floor-to-ceiling cubes organize an abundant product selection, and varying perimeter fixturing differentiates the collections. |
