IRON AND PAPER INVENTIONS FOR A CLOTHING STORE
“What of Art? It is a malady. Love? An Illusion.Religion? The fashionable substitute for Belief You are a sceptic? Never! Scepticism is the beginning of Faith. What are you? To define is to limit.”
“Sublime” is a project that stems from the collaboration between Est platform and Nerd Srl an experienced firm in sustainable materials and technologies for furniture production. The men’s wear store has two areas: the first one is dedicated to the exposition of clothes while the second, smaller, is a marvellous room for men’s accessories. The first space is defined by a lattice of rails that restored the old soul of the slaughterhouse in a renovated way the second is characterized by a handmade wall-paper composed by a collage of portions that belong to a more than fifteen famous paintings (from Botticelli till Brueghel). The cardboard furniture of the shop includes a cash desk, a radial counter, a drop ceiling/chandelier (tailored for the accessories’ room) and a cardboard wall. The furniture is assembled without glue, so, in case of deterioration, you can change only the damaged elements. Besides this system, allows a fast updating of the objects in terms of colours shapes etc.
