Flagship celebrates the merger of two brands: Docol – specializing in metals and bathroom fixtures – and Mekal – specializing in flat stainless steel designs.
Water is the central motif. So too are sophistication and precision.
A cast-glass table occupies the center of the space like an enormous surface of water in a solid state. On its sinuous, rough texture, millimeter – precise stainless steel trays display the brand’s products under dramatic lighting.
On one side, near the entrance, the black water mirror serves as a fountain, composed of high-design bathroom fixtures. Mist.
At the other end, in the back, where there is a second entrance, lies the cozy café, with its generous stainless steel counter. It is separated from the exhibition area by a subtle screen, crafted from slices of heavy brass components that seem to float in the air. Process.
Throughout the space, floor and ceiling unite the two worlds. The floor is made of blue-gold concrete, specially developed by mixing in cavaco – a byproduct of the industrial brass-making process. The modular, honeycomb-style stainless steel ceiling forms the large, low-ceilinged plane that lends a minimalist atmosphere to the scene. Water is reimagined in different states and materials: in frosted glass, the reflection of the moving liquid on the ceiling, in ultra-shiny hammered aluminum, in specular epoxy. Theatrical lighting.
It spans two thousand square meters, divided into two floors, connected by a grandstand-style staircase that will host events year-round. On the upper floor, stainless steel showcases its precision, beauty, and versatility.
