The material creates atmosphere: rusted steel provides an exciting contrast to the finest, high-quality watches and jewellery. When choosing the right material for the design of the shop, the client and architects broke new ground. Far away from conventional interior design for watch and jewelery shops, something unique and very special was to be created: an atmosphere that directly expresses the company's philosophy. The decision was made to use iron in an unusual shape: rusted and later painted, the cool material takes on a warm, lively character and thus provides the basis for the great atmosphere that the shop now exudes. The effect is enhanced by maintaining the natural shapes of the house, which has a beautiful linear shape.
