Design store in Germany
17. 05. 2012 | News
In Lower Saxony, not far from the town of Lüneburg, there is a design store that has everything an office, showroom and warehouse need. The owner of the store is a young successful design engineer who focuses on furnishing interiors. His work ranges from tables to lighting systems. It is no coincidence that he is mentioned here; the focus of his work is important to what we do.We would all like to design our own house to reflect not only the context of the place but also our personality. Any architect would certainly agree that one of the primary criteria in designing is the personality of the investor. Thus it is understandable that the premises where a young European designer he sells his designs and works every day must meet his artistic needs.The origin of the set of seven StandardLine series residential containers is evident at first glance. This trend is quite well established in Europe and, unlike the Czech Republic or Slovakia, the look of the containers is considered a plus in a certain context. It underlines freedom and a characteristic container style. In Europe and worldwide we can see efforts to adopt the container, sometimes even metal and warehouse-type look of many designs that are often put together out of recycled naval containers. Despite that, the design store maintains a certain original look which forms a natural contrast with the container origin of the building. The showroom and office area are illuminated by dominant front windows that offer a clear view of the front of the building. The suspended upper storey is supported by a steel girder that even emphasizes the reference to the „metal look cut through with light“ of naval containers. The rear of the upper storey is a pleasing sight for visitors and workers with its protruding wooden terrace, which sets off the metal look nicely.
