Industrial design elements in retail interiors
In the case of Honeyz Concept Store in Berlin, the Madrid-based studio Puntofilipino employed a limited number of industrial elements, such as a large, distressed sink, a pebble concrete floor and a weathered steel wall, and combined them with more domestic touches, such as an ornate, Apparatus chandelier. The designers clearly delight in exploring this tension: the pared-back timber shelving units have expanded metal mesh on the side, and a ceramic screen made of a single repeated element points both to industrial as well as artisanal techniques. The dark colour palette lends the space a slightly dystopian feel, referencing a wartime bunker that once existed in the building.
