22 Apr THÁLIA VINTAGE
The Thália Vintage Shop will soon open its doors in an old ticket office next to the well-known Thália theatre, which will be a perfect complement to its surroundings with its imposing interior design and valuable objects. It was not by chance that we used elaborated, high-quality and timeless details for this work.
During our first assessment it already became clear to us that the multi-functional counter which acts as the central element of the store had to be designed around the two pillars supporting the gallery. This way a more intimate, slightly zigzag section was created at the back, leaving room for the impressive view of the double ceiling height that unfolds before our eyes upon entering. At the entrance, symmetrically placed storage units are towering above us on both sides and lead us into the heart of the store. To top it all off an embellished crystal chandelier was added, under which we placed a carved wooden table to ensure it’s right to exist in the space.
We planned the storages and a small working corner in the area of the originally open gallery, which on one part we closed off from the eyes of the customers, but the entrance had to remain controllable from the upper floor, thus a partly open, partly closed wall system was formed and with a multitude of moving elements that also reflect the shop’s activities was all made evenly “crowded”. The playful but sophisticated colour palette was inspired by the lively spirit of the surrounding historic buildings.
The strong appearance of the built-in furniture is eye-catching, yet allows the individual objects to prevail, each can “self-actualize” without confusing the others. The warmth and depth of the retail space is given by the thoughtful use of textural elements and fine detailing, where vintage and unique pieces are mixed with each other in the spirit of everyday sophistication. On the floor we used mosaic with a gradient wave effect, paying homage to the typical ornate entrances of downtown buildings. For us, this place is a fusion of past and present, where warm and rustic materials meet soft romantic style.
