FX Awards 2015: The winners
Retail Space
Winner: Shop 03
by i29 interior architects
Category sponsored by Johnson Tiles
The Frame Store offers a three-dimensional experience that creates an innovative area, which surprises and inspires.
Looking from the front is an installation of white rectangular panels and black diagonal frames floating in the all-white space. The panels hanging from the walls and ceiling are intended to function as a white canvas. The content of these can be changed as the front panels are easily replaceable. The flexibility of the panels was important as one of the main focuses was the ability to change the store identity completely.
The use of text and graphic art linking back to the magazine's origins has also been incorporated into the space.
The judges said:
'A physical manifestation experience of the magazine - creative and innovative. A truly 3D experience that is innovative and inspiring.'
