Elegant and modern jewelry store interior design for the goldsmith Bodil Binner, in the heart of Copenhagen Denmark, designed by Schmidt Hammer Lassen architects. The building has been renovated and fitted with workshop and jewellery shop with respect for the original expression and the classical qualities. Azure glass display-cases and shimmering steel tiles evoke the sea, which inspires so much of her work. The white floors and raw concrete walls make it feel more like a sculpture gallery than a shop. Binner’s jewellery has inspired an interior that ‘tells the story of the artist’s strong belief in nature and her respect for its finest materials’.
The traditional windows with small mullions have been connected vertically across two floors, and the entrance to the shop has been moved to the end of the entrance corridor. The entrance area is hereby engaged as an architectonic element.
The new elegant windows stress the connection between the two floors, let in lots of daylight and add a modern, characteristic openness toward the street. The entrance area has been transformed into a ”chest”, accentuated by the classical barrel-vaulted ceiling.
Walls and ceiling are clad in mirror-like metal-sheets, creating a magical, illusory effect. The shop and the workshop are distributed across the two floors, mezzanine and ground floor.
The new location of the entrance has made it possible to open up between the two floors and create a double-high entrance area leading up to the shop and down to the workshop. The interior space has been cleaned entirely to create a singular, strong exhibition element; a white wall and show-case, with a luxurious stucco lustro marble plaster finish.
