继DCA米兰和Kriemler兄弟于2018年开始合作开发一个新的商店概念后,第一家AKRIS原型店在华盛顿特区开业。AKRIS是一家国际时装公司,1922年成立于瑞士圣加仑,其名称是公司创始人Alice Kriemler- Schoch的缩写。此后,所有权一直在家族中传承,现在由创始人的孙子Albert和Peter Kriemler掌握。

Following a collaboration that began in 2018 between DCA Milan and the Kriemler brothers for the development of a new Store Concept, the first AKRIS prototype store opened in Washington DC. AKRIS is an international fashion house founded in Saint Gallen, Switzerland in 1922, its name is an acronym of Alice Kriemler– Schoch, the company’s founder. Ownership has since passed down the family and is now in the hands of the founder’s grandchildren, Albert and Peter Kriemler.

DCA米兰对该项目的设计意图是通过一个与灯光展示系统相关的坚实的三维建筑来加强AKRIS系列的物质性和精细的工艺,定义一个空间,让精心挑选的材料成为中心舞台。

DCA Milan’s design intent for the project was to enhance the materiality and fine craftsmanship of AKRIS collections through a solid, three-dimensional architecture associated with a light display system, defining a space where carefully chosen materials take center stage.

所有的展示元素都有意减少到最低限度,由一系列绷紧的电缆形成,支撑着架子和衣架,目的是展示产品,就像它们被神奇地悬挂在石灰石和木材的建筑盒子里。该设计参考了布鲁诺-穆纳里的拉伸空间结构,其基本性质在于两种相反的力量的对比:张力和压缩。

All the display elements are intentionally reduced to the minimum and are formed by a series of taut cables that support shelves and hangers with the aim of displaying the products as if they were magically suspended within an architectural box of limestone and wood. The design references Bruno Munari’s tensile spatial structures, whose fundamental nature lies in contrasting two opposing forces: tension and compression.

在店内,预制的白色枫木镶板覆盖了墙壁,容纳了展示系统,并在一个中性的背景下展示系列,所有这些都与灰色石灰石的地板一起。

Inside the store, pre-shaped wood paneling of white-painted maple clads the walls, hosting the display system and showcasing the collections against a neutral backdrop, all set alongside the flooring in grey limestone.

悬挂在天花板上的不锈钢网隔断起到了过滤作用,细分了专卖店,在不妨碍视线的情况下增强了深度感。与天然阳极氧化铝的柜台一起,这些隔板打断了精品店内的流动,创造出一种流动和透明的感觉。

Suspended from the ceiling, stainless steel mesh partitions act as filters, subdividing the boutique and enhancing the sense of depth without obstructing the view. Together with the counters in natural anodized aluminum, these partitions interrupt the flow within the boutique, creating a fluidity of movement and a sense of transparency.

在试衣间里,墙壁和天花板选择了象牙色的马鬃毛织物–AKRIS的标志性材料–和冷灰色的混合毡。与此相反,象牙色的羊毛地毯覆盖了地板。

In the fitting rooms, ivory-colored horsehair fabric – AKRIS’s signature material – and cool grey melange felt have been chosen for the walls and ceiling. In contrast, an ivory-colored wool carpet covers the floor.
