JINS Ohtone Store

This is a plan for a roadside store for the eyewear brand “JINS” in Kazo City, Saitama Prefecture.

Alfa Vision

The Alfa Vision eyewear store in Masarykova Street in Zagreb posed a challenge to achieving maximum functionality within a small space. By applying an innovative approach to product display and using wooden and copper decorative elements, our team has created a welcoming and functional retail space that exudes warmth. The centre of the store is dominated by a counter that acts as a cash register as well as a point of customer service. Such a layout allows customers to freely flow through space, independently browsing and trying on products, which are accessibly displayed on long open shelves with large illuminated background. Mirrors are strategically placed throughout the store, allowing multiple customers to try on products simultaneousl... More
