The store’s color scheme is dominated by grey, silver, and yellow

The space is situated on the ground floor of a 19th-century building and retains a conventional jewelry front. In contrast, the interior aims to distance itself from traditional jewellery stores.

“The main idea was to create a new sense of retail in a non-traditional commercial way,” Crosby Studios told Dezeen.

Cookers, storage, and washing stations have become jewelry display cases

The store draws on the concept of a dark kitchen, a fast food outlet that provides food for deliveries and takeaways but doesn’t have a dedicated area for in-house dining.

“We purchased all the steel appliances and shelving from the kitchen supply store in Berlin,” the studio said. “We needed sturdy stainless shelves with sliding drawers, which is why we decided to repurpose restaurant equipment.”

The color scheme is unified by its use of yellow paint, which is Avgvst’s signature brand colour.

Yellow details at the front of the store include a jewelry sink, a rinsing tap with a coiled arm, and numerous small displays, and trends for jewelry.

The back of the space features yellow storage cabinets, curtains and foldable furniture, as well as yellow and green flowers and plants that soften the space’s industrial feel.

“Yellow is associated with gold, which is reflected in Avgvst’s jewelry,” the studio said.

Foldable camping tables, chairs and stools are set up as permanent furniture to add to the interior’s playful atmosphere.
