SAND is a children’s wear shop located in Reggio Emilia
historical district.
The client required a concept capable to evocate
sensations of tenderness and softness which would match the character of the
collection displayed: thus our proposal to play with sand’s color and material
qualities.
The main room’s floor lies lower than the street level and
shopwindows, this height difference was the input for the design of a single
piece of furniture, arranged to contain clothes and whose top allows the
display, giving a sense of continuity between the pavements and the indoor
space. The shopwindows as well do not represent a strong threshold but more a
soft connection between the indoor spaces and the city outside, expanding the
perception of the shop’s dimensions.
Traces of faraway seas or remote worlds can be found inside
the openable glass boxes, offering an exhibition space varying from season to
season. The sandy colours and shades of the furniture and of the hand-applied
natural resin floor scatter and reflect
daylight, evoking dunes and exotic shores.
The feeling of a cosy atmosphere is conveyed also by antique
pieces of furniture as the main table and by the linen curtains of the changing
room.
