SP BERNER SHOWROOM

BOXES AS AN EXHIBITION CANVAS

The company’s furniture showroom is located in a warehouse to the west of the industrial complex of this plastics multinational. 

The programme is subdivided into two areas: one for access and meetings and the other for product display. Both spaces are distinguished by a material change of great contrast between black and white, marking a very defined boundary line between spaces. 

The project, of great geometric rotundity and marked plastic character, contrasts with the discretion and subtlety of the surrounding space with the aim of giving prominence to the product on display. 

The leitmotiv of the project is to generate a sequence of volumes that integrate and frame each piece. These cubes are configured in size and dimension according to the quantity and dimensions of each product. Each volume is formalised in a box of pure and perfect geometry composed of two pieces. A base to support the product and another box that emerges from the ceiling to house the lighting in the form of a lantern. Both volumes arise in response to the need to show and are therefore materialised in white, as an unpolluted canvas where the product enhances its identity. 

Each of these volumes are also variable in height, forcing the observer’s gaze and managing to show the best virtues of each element it houses. 

Lighting is another interesting point to work on, as the light of each cube is independent. This gives us the possibility of creating scenes that enhance the value of each piece of furniture, playing with the intensity of the light, the sequence of scenes and, of course, the chromaticism. 

The intervention also manages to appropriate even the exterior, which is why we give continuity by using the same flooring material indoors and outdoors. The treatment of the material on the outside respects the environment and leaves space for the vegetation. Each piece of porcelain tile is framed with grass so that we create a new base, where the white slabs provide a new frame for a possible outdoor scene.
