Although it would have been easy for the vast array of products to take over the Kyvos Stationery Shop in Greece, when creating the retail design for this interior, Lefteris Tsikandilakis was careful to make sure the brand's identity stood out most.
As a brand that uses a red cube in its branding, this shape is repeated throughout the shop in signage, display units, lighting and counter space.
By keeping all products displayed on the walls of the interior space, ample walking space is created in the small store. From the street, the use of two large floor-to-ceiling windows makes it easy to see nearly all of the merchandise in the space, so that no advertising is needed after hours to describe the contents of the store.
