\"Fashion<\/div>\n

Design studio Tutto Bene<\/a> has unveiled fashion floors and private shopping space at a department store in Basel<\/a>, juxtaposing concrete<\/a> floors and steel details with soft drapery and illuminated laminated paper.<\/span><\/p>\n

The fashion floors at the Globus Basel<\/a> department store, located in the heart of the Swiss city, have been given a new look as part of a wider overhaul of the retailer.<\/p>\n

The interior was kept “intentionally quiet”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Designers Felizia Berchtold and Oskar Kohnen of Tutto Bene<\/a> took the exterior of the department store, which has an original art nouveau facade, into consideration when creating the new interior.<\/p>\n

“The art nouveau facade brought a rare gift for a department store: daylight and a constant visual relationship to the city,” Berchtold told Dezeen. “Rather than mimic its historic language, we kept the interior intentionally quiet \u2013 allowing the original grandeur to remain legible from the outside, while abstracting its facade rhythm into the illuminated perimeter frame on the shop floor.”<\/p>\n

\"Changing
Sheer drapes were used to let light in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To showcase the fashion pieces, the studio drew on art gallery layouts and added softly illuminated lightboxes that snake through the rooms.<\/p>\n

“We approached fashion as the artwork and the interior as its architectural frame: a gallery-like system reduced to the essential so product can be read with clarity,” Kohnen told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“A continuous illuminated frame of columns and architraves organises movement, hierarchy and rhythm across the floors \u2013 monumental yet practical, like a contemporary aqueduct.”<\/p>\n

\"Pale
Blocks of colour help users navigate the fashion floors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tutto Bene kept the colour palette of the fashion floors mostly black and white, but added a few blocks of colour. These were used “as navigation cues rather than decoration \u2013 avoiding the still often gender-coded retail palette,” the studio explained.<\/p>\n

When it came to surfaces, the designers deliberately blended hard and soft materials, contrasting the concrete floor with sheer drapes.<\/p>\n
