The store, named "Blue by Agatha Ruiz de la Prada" is the second of a series of concept stores, where each one will be personalized with a different colour.
Considering the importance of "colour" for the brand, the intention was not only designing a new store to accomplish the brand´s briefing of a low cost renovation,
but also experimenting with the effect of color and light. The starting point was emptying, yet maintaining the existing space just as it was, and then painting absolutely
everything insight in a very vibrant colour. Due to the use of a special Blue luminescent paint and a fluorescent lighting system which runs throughout all floors, the
space immediately was transformed into an entirely new store. The perception of the colour changes depending on how light reflects into it, and different tones and
shades are perceived on the floor, ceiling and walls. A new lighting system, with a visible line of fluorescents integrated into an aluminum track, was specially designed
for the project. They float and run vertically and horizontally throughout the whole store at different heights, and also function as lineal rails for hanging the clothes.
Large geometric cardboard volumes are used as furniture pieces around the store. The final result is a great visual impact simply made by plain industrial materials and
a low cost renovation.
