We transformed the Cityshop (Stadswinkel) in the heart of the historical city. We created a new spatiality, new way of selling and presenting different items, new furniture, new lights usuing our personnal unconventional functionalist and usersfriendly way of mixing things and even new material, construction systems, forms, geometry...

The main issue for this project was to not alter the bookshop this neighborhood was very fond of. The space had to become more open and functional, without losing the original atmosphere.

Transformation proceeded little by little. The whole appears to be a sum of smaller interventions: partitions were torn down, a mezzanine now links the ground floor to the first floor. We removed the most we could in order to turn it into a bare volume. Some ancient elements were thus revealed and kept. The new custom furniture is made of simply shaped natural wood and thin sheets of white steel reminding of folded paper. This variety of means and decisions gave birth to a contrasted yet unified ensemble. Messy yet under control, raw but neat.

Development of Bellerose clothing stores: Namur.

Walls exposed, stripped reveal the layering and decorative elements, witnesses successive transformations of the store. Our intervention is superimposed on these gross walls. Wooden boxes on structured system contain clothes with great simplicity. Very simple and very clean details that disappear almost behind the wealth of fabrics presented.

Furniture items such as mirrors and cabins are mobile. Simple folded tubular metal structures on wheels moving in the store as required.
