Viktoria and Woods Boutique
The overall design concept for Viktoria and Woods' Emporium retail space is a balanced combination of sophistication and edginess, aligning with the brand's minimalist and contemporary clothing range. The focus centers on creating a minimalist and contemporary space that effortlessly captures the consumer's attention as they move about the space. This is achieved through an open plan and engaging customer journey, enveloping individuals as they navigate the area.
​
By employing a balance of soft and hard finishes, the design introduces layers of depth, further enhancing the store's visual and tactile appeal. Curved shelving in Dulux's Winter Palace creates a striking backdrop, while ceiling-hung clothes rails contribute to the sophistication and functionality of the space. Marble display plinths further elevate the interior, showcasing accessories with elegance. These thoughtfully curated displays vary in height and feature rich textures to achieve a harmonious balance and composition within the store.
​
With a palette composed of meticulously selected premium materials, an elevated interpretation of the brand is achieved. Natural stone skirting boards and accent furniture add a timeless touch of elegance, while walnut, reclaimed timber incorporated into the store's POS counter brings warmth to the space. The blackened steel wall cabinetry provides a contemporary and textured element, adding a sense of modernity to the store.
​
Through these carefully curated materials, the brand's essence is reflected and elevated, aligning seamlessly with Viktoria and Woods' signature aesthetic. When combined, they culminate in a unified and memorable experience for customers as they journey through the store.
