With infrastructure left raw and largely exposed, a dramatic backdrop of perforated steel mesh, softened by subtle illumination, sets the stage for Fanuli's new flagship store in Melbourne.
The articulation of timber elements reflects the handcrafted nature of furniture manufacturing that is so valued at Fanuli. These elements come together with precision and curation to form devices that assist with the delineation of the various zones.
A six metre long reception desk constructed from solid European oak, supported effortlessly by a series of black steel blades appear to defy gravity. Attention to detail is everything and the connections between materials are visual and expressed proudly to showcase quality in a very confident and explicit way.
Meticulously programmed to utilise every available space, the design responds to the aspirations of Fanuli to maximise display areas and enhance the experiences for both guests and staff.
