Tienda Mayor

Florencia Rissotti Arq as Architects

Inside an existing warehouse, an exhibition, work and warehouse space was created for the fabric brand.

A metal mezzanine gives scale to the space, leaving the work space below (tables, customer area, production area) and an expansion of the warehouse area above.

The space was assembled with the raw material of the place: fabric. A series of curtains divide and organize the meeting room, hide shelves with orders, and cover the storage area. 

The ladder-device was intended as an exhibition element, from which a velvet falls and sews the two levels (the totem). This ladder-hanger is designed as an internal display window, where you can change the selection/palette according to the season.

The entire space was designed in cream tones, with texture variations of the different fabrics, the use of “Alamo” in the wooden elements, and minimal variations of creamy colors in walls, carpentry and borders. Color appears in individual elements (armchairs, chairs) and in the fabric catalog itself, which changes, expands, and mutates over time.
