PROJECT DESCRIPTION
CARPO NUTS, CHOCOLATE & COFFEE STORE
GLASSHOUSE, LONDON
This is the largest store of the chain located in central London. It is developed over 3 levels: ground floor, the main sales area, mezzanine with ancillary areas and transit and 1st floor seating area with bar service. The intention was to create an innovative store that would combine the sale of oven roasted nuts in the store, serving fresh coffee and bakery products, dried fruit and handmade chocolate as well as presenting the products in an original way. An effort was made to create a space with clearly separated functional zones on the one hand, but also with a sense of freedom and variety in both the placement of furniture and the combination of materials and colors on the other. Product packaging materials were used as scenography and decoration of the space (sacks, cans, bags, etc.). Two large chandelier-type pendant lights and two smaller ones and a suspended metal structure with rails were placed on the ground floor ceiling to illuminate the space. Materials of construction: sand-colored kourasanit, black and white brick-shaped tiles, Swedish timber in grey-brown, natural walnut, black metal and bronze elements, green Tinos marble and white marble from Volaka, etc. On the floors, wood type tiles in brown color were installed.
