Tutto Bene Took on a New Retail Design Project in Angel, London
Amy Duong — July 31, 2024 — Art & Design
Design studio Tutto Bene worked on the design process of the Cubitts eyewear store that opened in London's Islington Angel area. The store is decorated with an interior concept that was dreamed up by the team with influence from the architecture of the store itself.
The co-founder of the studio spoke to Dezeen about the design concept. He states, "It's a long, slim room with an atelier atmosphere due to the strong contrasts of light and shadow. The atelier feeling immediately evoked a sense of being at an artist's loft, this feeling of residential elements mixed with workshop-like rawness is what we wanted to embrace."
The team created that feeling through the decor pieces that reference various art movements throughout the space. There is also a skylight that brings attention to the glass details in the store.
