Lichtblick

‘Augenweid’ – a feast for the eyes – is the playful name of the sales and consultation room for sunglasses. As it happens, it is also an apt description of the room itself. The materials, colours and lighting make sure of it. The two longitudinal walls – one featuring a beige varnish, the opposite wall covered in a dark red fabric – offer an atmospheric contrast, while a bright band of pink provides a striking accent on the showcase. The showcase itself is highly versatile and divides the room into two zones for sales and consultations, respectively. The lights hang at eye-level between the consultation tables, exuding warmth and framing the individual consultation areas.
