Brief: Create a Showroom - Response: Showcase multiple perspectives
Located on the second floor of a 1903 factory building, the new showroom occupies the only fully finished surface within an otherwise raw and transitional structure.
The building, once an industrial space, has been gradually adapted into contemporary offices — and this interior acts as a preview of what the future design language of the entire space may become.

Scenography
The design intentionally stages multiple perspectives: it is both an interior and an exhibition, a real space and a projection of possible futures.
A sequence of arches cuts through the structure, creating frames that lead the gaze and compose chosen views across the entire showroom.
These frames are not accidental — they guide the visitor, setting up curated images and layered sightlines that merge into one another like a living collage.

Creating frames and perspectives.
Soft curtains, moving along these axes, allow the space to transform. They can open or close perspectives, alter spatial boundaries, and redefine how each zone is perceived.
Through this simple gesture, the interior becomes playful and fluid — sometimes open and continuous, sometimes intimate and enclosed — allowing visitors to choreograph their own journey.

Transformation
The material palette balances between rawness and precision.
Soft, muted tones and tactile fabrics contrast with exposed concrete, aluminum profiles, and traces of the building’s industrial past.
The front façade of the showroom extends visually into the adjacent construction zone, revealing unfinished walls and technical structures — a deliberate reminder of the building’s evolution and of the dialogue between the “before” and “after.”

Reflections appear throughout, both literal and metaphorical.
Circular mirrors and polished surfaces echo the arched openings, multiplying views and merging distinct rooms into one layered composition.
These superimposed images blur the line between what exists now and what might appear later — a collage of possibilities embedded within the space itself.
The showroom is not a static display but an open framework — a sequence of zones, scenarios, and perspectives inviting interpretation.
It offers a vision of transformation, where architecture, light, and reflection come together to stage the process of design itself.
