Lladr Barcelona

One of the challenges faced by the WalkerGroup/CNI when designing Spanish porcelain maker Lladró's Barcelona flagship, was achieving the clean “museum-like” setting that the retailer had in mind, while keeping the space shopper-friendly. Using neutral colors, near fluorescent overhead lighting and stone flooring, the designers created an airy, almost whimsical surrounding in the 4,500-square-foot, three-story flagship store. Judges were impressed with the store's use of light and color. “Elegant design concepts were used to deal with the challenges brought on by the verticality of the space,” says Patricia Farinas Farrell of TVS. Says Thomas Williams of Niles Bolton Interior Design, WalkerGroup's successful “use of materials reflected the merchandise,” giving the retail space an art gallery feel that the client wanted to achieve.
