Atmosphere — Luxury Furnishing Store
Bringing a textile brand to life through sculptural retail design
01 / BRIEF & APPROACH
Himatsingka Seide commissioned Khosla Associates to create an international retail environment for Atmosphere, its luxury furnishing brand. The brief called for a contemporary setting showcasing more than 2,000 silk and silk-blend fabrics while maintaining the brand’s established identity.
An undulating display wall organised the store into zones for product presentation and customer interaction, integrating fabric swatches, cushions and bedding. A restrained white-and-beige palette foregrounded the textiles’ colours and textures, while the glazed frontage gave the store a strong street presence.
02 / MY CONTRIBUTION
Contributing to a collaborative architectural project
As one of the project architects at Khosla Associates, I contributed to the store’s retail design and development, working within the team to translate the brand brief into a cohesive retail environment. My involvement also extended to a subsequent exhibition stall at a design expo in Dubai.
03 / OUTCOMES
5,000 SQ. FT. RETAIL ENVIRONMENT
The completed store brought product display, customer interaction and brand expression into a unified spatial experience. Its sculptural display system accommodated a varied textile collection within a clear architectural framework.
The later Dubai exhibition stall provided a further setting for presenting the brand and its products.
