SHOWROOMSTORAGE+SALES Floor Plan

Showroom Customer is confronted directly with the products for sale There are no counters acting as barriers After passing through the showroom he enters the storage room, which also is the sales area Polished and anodized aluminium in the interior

Aluminium used because it is “a true material of our century” It is easy to work with, lightness allows large parts to be assembled, easily transported and surface gives the required aesthetic appearence Its silver hue was used as the main theme of the design including advertisements, silver shopping bags and wrapping paper RETTI CANDLE SHOP
