Design Concept and Objectives: A Blend of Technology and Aesthetics
The design objective of the Wahts Store project was to create a retail space that beautifully represents the essence of Wahts as a luxury clothing brand. Framework Studio aimed to achieve this by creating an environment that merges technology and beauty, presenting a fusion of industrial design with a sophisticated finish. The design emphasizes the brand’s inherent values and DNA through a carefully curated selection of materials, each chosen to reflect both function and the aesthetics of the brand. Designers deliberately selected specific materials such as stainless steel, Alcantara, and A-grade French oak. The interplay of materials creates a nuanced retail experience that is both sophisticated and accessible, reflecting the brand’s dedication to high-quality design while remaining accessible and relevant for daily use.

Material Selection and Interior Design Details: Craftsmanship and Luxury
The choice of materials for the Wahts store is central to the design’s success. Materials were carefully chosen to reflect the brand’s image of ultimate luxury combined with practicality for everyday use. Stainless steel reflects a modern aesthetic and clean, industrial design element that is also durable and robust. Alcantara, a high-end synthetic material that offers a tactile experience similar to suede, adds a luxurious softness and a warm touch, contrasting against the steel. A-grade French oak was selected for its natural beauty, timeless aesthetic, and sustainable aspects. These choices create a harmonious blend of functionality and visual appeal, making the interior space both visually stunning and appropriate for a modern luxury clothing brand. The store also features strategic displays and lighting which enhance the overall aesthetic and highlight the clothing on offer. These design elements contribute to the distinct identity of the Wahts store, ensuring the space feels both welcoming and inspiring for customers.
