This high end women’s clothing store was designed with a central focus on flexibility – the ability to change the retail floor six times a year was crucial. The design strategy was intended to mirror the merchandise on display. As a retailer of athletic wear, the client wanted the store to emulate an “active” lifestyle and be able to transform with each new season and the size of the designers’ collections.
To achieve this, NANO employed a series of moveable metal screens to divide the retail area into discrete but permeable zones that can be separated or joined together as desired. The perforated metal screens support shelving and merchandise displays while still permitting visual access through the space. NANO also designed and hand-built the custom cash wrap.
