Svalka.spb is a new designer‘s second-hand store in St. Petersburg. It is fundamental of the concept based on conscious consumption and the idea that each thing is valuable and requires a unique approach.
An unsuitable thing loses its value as a chaotically crumpled piece of paper.
At the same time, if you reconsider the same thing, it has a new meaning and consistency. Like a cube has ist own system and coordinates.
The peculiarity of this interior was the entrance to the room which went from street directly to the second floor. The staircase appeared practically in the middle of the hall.
To emphasize the uniqueness of this layout, a sloping cube was made along the stairs. It is a symbol of transition from chaos to orderliness. Passing through it, we enter a laconic space of consciousness.
The thing is an accent in the interior - like a new meaning. How the simplicity of the environment gives things the meaning of an art object.
The store's premises are divided into two halls. The first one contains a library, a minimalistic reception, in front of which there are large cubes with partner products, and the main area with rails. In the second hall there are rails with clothes and two dressing rooms.
The customer planned to increase the number of fitting rooms in the future, so it was decided to make two regular changing rooms and one mirror with illumination on the wall - for quick fitting of outerwear or accessories. If necessary, it will be possible to order curtains with rails to the mirror and turn it into a full fitting room.
