The jewelry brand Galeria Andrea Colli, located in Jardim Europa, has made a strategic transition from a shopping mall setting to a standalone street store. The new space, designed by VAGA Arquitetura, reflects the brand’s depth and sophistication through precise architectural interventions.

Founded in 2016 by Andrea Colli and Viviane Ferreira, the brand defines its jewelry as extensions of the body — pieces that transcend mere aesthetics and offer a sensitive, thoughtful perspective. The architectural design of the new store authentically expresses the identity and values of Galeria Andrea Colli, showcasing its jewelry in harmony with the surrounding architecture.

Through subtle yet impactful interventions, the architects completely redefined the atmosphere of the space. The most striking changes took place in the exterior area, where a new façade was clad with perforated steel panels painted in a vibrant shade of yellow, creating a strong visual contrast with the urban surroundings.

A pivoting door leads visitors into the store’s first environment — a transitional space that disconnects the public from the urban setting and introduces a new atmosphere. With a cave-like character, the space features textured walls and natural light entering selectively through an overhead opening, where a single tree is planted. The yellow fulget flooring and landscaping elements enhance the immersive sensory experience.

The physical and visual connections between the indoor and outdoor spaces were carefully designed to create a sense of continuity and fluidity. At the entrance door, for instance, a large circular opening offers a preview of the store’s interior space.

Inside, the jewelry is displayed like artwork in a gallery, highlighting the uniqueness of each piece through a minimalist approach. At the back of the store, a café/bar with a fully equipped kitchen provides an ideal setting for brand events and gatherings. In addition, the client service area was furnished with sofas and side tables designed exclusively by the architects for this project, with the aim of offering maximum comfort.

The Galeria Andrea Colli space celebrates the beauty, creativity, and individuality of the contemporary woman. The entire project was developed through close collaboration between the architects and the store’s team, allowing for a faithful translation of the brand’s core concepts and identity into a space that invites clients, in every detail, to experience the atmosphere of art and inspiration embodied by the jewelry.
