A selection of natural and artificial marble and stone, represented as display surfaces for Elbas products.. masses sitting within the double volume space. The heaviness of this earthy material is met with the cold neat brushed sheets of brass, cladding surfaces and wrapping anchor elements in the design.A gradient subtle golden color renders a big portion of the space, digitally printed on crystal clear glass, offering a clean calming backdrop for all the richness that elba has to offer to our senses.
The façade offers an entry experience through subtraction, pulling the door inwards with a play of geometric additions to frame the entry; the wall mass that escape the interior on the left and the curved glass mass on the right. A rich façade display through minimal wooden shelves and a grey marble bench embracing an olive tree all play as an introduction space for the experience beyond.
