Schemata Architects Creates an Interesting Aesthetic for Kolon Sport
References: schemata.jp & dezeen
Located on the island of Jeju (South Korea's largest island), Schemata Architects experiment with the materials to build display fixtures. The brand was commissioned by Kolon Sport, "an outdoor brand with sustainability at its core," and tasked to create the interior aesthetic of the Jeju concept store. Wanting to "align with the brand's upcycling ethos," Schemata Architects looked to design with impact. One of the most striking features of the Kolon Sport concept store is that the display fixtures, used to showcase the product to customers, are actually made out of marine debris. From jerry cans to blocks of polystyrene, Schemata Architects found effective ways to use some of the "20,000 tons of marine debris [that] is incinerated annually on the island of Jeju."
