The main need

The Ombra brand, a store that sells luxury glasses in the city of Neiva. They were looking to have a commercial point of sale in a busy shopping center in the city. The available area was 9M2 in a space of 3M X3M. A series of technical requirements regarding the shopping center's display manual defined certain technical aspects of the design. Aspects mainly related to its dimensions.

One of the most important premises was to achieve a display capacity for 150 glasses. Without looking too saturated with product. The client had two of the three display cases that were installed. These display cases were adjusted and modified according to the design.

Stand for Ombra Design

The design project proposed an aesthetic marked by linearity. That is, the use of vertical and horizontal lines and axes that present an idea of ​​order. This is highlighted by a lighting design that puts the product itself as the protagonist.

In the design, a mirror is proposed as an element of interaction with the user. In addition to being a necessity of the type of store. Doing it generously with a large mirror will always generate curiosity in whoever walks by.

The module is made mostly of a metal structure, which allows for lower weight and cleaner assembly, as well as greater durability over time. As for transparent exhibition cases, some are made of 5mm crystal acrylic. Precisely with the same idea of ​​having less weight in the structure. Because the module would be completely manufactured in the workshop to be able to be transported to the site by crane. Its weight was a very important variable.
