Sarlis wanted a contemporary jewellery store in the heart of Rhodes town: a place that breathes luxury, yet carries a playful, pop spirit. The palette sets the tone. Peacock blue walls, gold and blush pink come together to create a setting that feels glamorous rather than formal.
The transformation began on the street. To give the façade a new identity, the studio introduced the arch, a recurring motif in the Italian-era architecture of Rhodes, as the store's signature. The custom polycarbonate arches are lit both inwards and outwards, so the façade glows with energy and the store can be spotted from far down the street. Inside, sculpted gold display tables and pink onyx-effect vitrines turn browsing into a gallery walk.
Crossing the threshold, visitors understand that the jewellery is accessible, not reserved for the few, yet the space radiates so much luxury and chic that everyone feels important, whatever they choose to spend.
The studio's favourite detail is the gold stretch ceiling: a mirror-like surface that reflects and doubles the entire store, creating a playful optical illusion and a ready-made backdrop for unforgettable Instagram photos.
