DESIGNING IN 5,74 m2 – JEWELLERY SHOP IN IOANNINA / VICKY PORIKI

The “jewelry store”,is being placed in the center of the town Ioannina, Greece and specifically in a pedestrian street. It was designed for the needs of exhibition handmade jewel.

 

The store chosen is 5,74 square meters long and the basic principle for designing this place, was the effort to promote the “exhibits” , keeping the coziness of the store and preventing it from suffocation. Reason which led to the development of the concept – idea : the need to create “2 zones”. From the one hand the solid zone of the store, which exhibits and stores the jewellery , and from the other hand the perforated zone – showcase , which exhibits both : the jewellery and the store.

 

The implementation of the “2 zones” is being made through shapes which lap the plan in the solid part, and through strict rectangular shapes which swing with the help of a metallic complex in the perforated part. Gestures which provide the place with coziness and spaciousness. In addition, through the perforated showcases, the store reveals itself to the pedestrian converting it to an “exhibit” which exhibits the “exhibitions“.
