Excerpt: Barefoot Organics, designed by Studio 4000, is a shop for organic foods conceived by setting black & white shelves in a circular framework. This is done in different combinations to have a variety of display units- some aligning with the side walls, others placed along its central axis. Shelves of adjacent units are staggered in elevation to break continues horizontal lines, against which the vertical circular teak posts are seen repeating at regular interval. Overall, this compositional idea characterizes the design & extends to that of supporting furniture elements like reception desk, internal partitions as well as the main facade.
Project Description
[Text as submitted by Architect] The shop for organic foods is conceived by setting black & white shelves in a framework of circular teak members. This is done in different combinations to have a variety of display units- some aligning with the side walls, others placed along its central axis.
Shelves of adjacent units are staggered in elevation to break continues horizontal lines, against which the vertical circular teak posts are seen repeating at regular interval. Overall, this compositional idea characterizes the design & extends to that of supporting furniture elements like reception desk, internal partitions as well as the main facade.
Vertical surfaces & shelves are finished with automotive paint and teak posts in lacquer polish. The floor is covered with yellow vinyl sheeting, the ceiling in flat grey paint.
Together, they form the background against which the play of horizontal and vertical lines in the display is brought forth as the main focus.
