The decisions behind it
A flagship store on a nine-week fit-out programme, which is the constraint that shaped every decision. Retail interiors are built fast and changed often, and the material choices here were made to take decisions off the site rather than to add them.
M06 Argilla runs full height on three walls and wraps the cash desk. The colour is a solid pigment rather than a fired-clay variation, so the walls read as one continuous surface instead of as an assembly of panels — which is what the scheme needed behind a display system that changes four times a year.
The plinths are T08 Ferro at 12 mm. They take the most abuse in the store, they get moved, and the through-body colour means a knocked corner shows the same dark grey-brown as the face. A plinth with a chipped white core is a plinth that gets replaced.
The shopfront reveal is also T08, at 20 mm, running from inside to outside across the threshold. It is the same batch as the internal plinths, which is why the transition works at dusk when the internal lighting takes over.
Nine weeks meant we could not detail our way out of anything. Fewer joints was the only lever we had.Norrsken Arkitekter
