Project 03

Prototype Concept Retail Design

Distillery Retail & Tasting Concept

Organic, minimal and exploratory. A product-centric retail concept built on a neutral palette that spotlights the bottles on display. Gentle curves shape the plan, the displays and the ceiling rafts alike, drawing customers along a continuous path of discovery rather than a grid of aisles.
