Design of a store

CORNER

Participation in the project of creating a concept store on Vozdvizhenska Street. Interior design, furniture design, and accessories design

Premises for creating a concept store. Condition – after construction.

My task included measurements, creating a 3D model of the premises, models of objects in the design process, testing hypotheses and prototyping. Creating models and drawings of furniture and accessories for production.

There were also additional tasks related to repair work (complex or unique tasks that no one else took on). Tasks related to creating art objects. Manufacturing of complex furniture. Manufacturing of some accessories.

Author’s supervision and support during construction.

If you’re interested in Art objects, you can see an example here.

Full scope of work for the space after construction. The walls, the texture of which was also subordinated to a single idea. Gypsum board structures, sometimes with ambiguous design solutions. False facades to hide equipment. Niches for lighting fixtures. Even covers for heating radiators.

Everything fit into the overall design, was tested on a 3D model, and diagrams and drawings were created for the builders. Continuous author supervision was carried out.

sketches, 3d models and drawings

All furniture (except for the sofa), including shelves, stands, coffee tables, trash cans, hooks for fitting rooms, sink stands, and 7 types of clothing rails were designed visually in 3D using a pre-prepared model of the space.

Furniture (shop equipment) design for a concept store

Design of all necessary items was ordered, but only a part of them was actually made due to various reasons. The most popular ones were budget constraints and limited time before the store opening.

Construction elements

In such cases, when the furniture is non-standard, it is made to order from different contractors. Moreover, contractors can be of different levels of training, from industrial workshops to self-taught artists. It is very important to describe and visualize each element of the structure.

Even details such as the connection of pipes of different sizes have to be discussed and drawn separately. Otherwise, everything will be done incorrectly.

Door handle

The design of the door handle was conceived by the designer as a stylization of the spine. However, not everything could be done practically (in terms of safety for visitors’ fingers) and in terms of cost. Therefore, the idea underwent some optimization.

The concept store Corner no longer exists, but the handle continues to be used by subsequent tenants.

3D model of a waste bin/ashtray for the street. Were made of metal, 2 pieces.

Prototyping

The metal structure was the centerpiece of the interior design. It was custom-made based on a pre-made prototype rather than a blueprint.

Staircase design

The product was made by a contractor without drawings. It was only necessary to convey the idea, the rhythm.

…

polygraphy

In addition to the interior design, furniture, accessories, and art objects, a minimum amount of printing materials were also developed.

The concept store no longer exists. Previously, it was located on Vozdvizhenska Street.
