Commercial Interior Design for Azul Acocsa Kitchen Showroom
Coblonal has been responsible for the design and construction of Azul Acocsa’s new showroom space that expands its facilities located in the Les Corts neighborhood in Barcelona. In this new space, Azul Acocsa offers and exhibits its own high-end kitchen designs and lighting projects, in addition to its wide range of coverings and sanitary ware.
Projecte
Coblonal has been in charge of designing and building a space with a surface area of more than 700m2 that is added to the sanitary and parquet showrooms we have made in recent years, all of which are of the highest technical and quality requirements.
We have followed the same basic idea in accordance with the philosophy of the brand. Spaces designed so that the product is the protagonist, especially designed for creative dynamics; where clients and architects, together with the Azul Acocsa team, can appreciate the dimensions, functionalities, characteristics and alternatives of materials and designs in use.
We designed a space where Azul Acocsa could exhibit five of its kitchens, two of which are fully functional, as well as its new lighting division and the set of materials involved in its designs. The idea of placing fully functional kitchens responds to the desire to hold events and cooking demonstrations, as well as so that every visitor has a real experience of using the designs and innovations in materials and technology of their pieces.
The space as a whole has 13 work points distributed between the area of kitchens on display, the area of natural stone, lighting, large-format pieces and small samples.
The zoning of the set of spaces has different meeting points where to stand with customers, such as large tables, an area with screens and a projector and even a space where you can have a coffee from a privileged position with a view to the whole showroom under a huge wallpaper.
The materials used are the 3×1.5 meter porcelain pieces that make up the floor. This is a model specially made for the showroom and which from now on can be found exclusively for its customers. The accesses to the upper floors are lined with natural parquet.
The vertical exhibition system that we find in a large part of the perimeter is composed of micro-perforated sheet metal modules 1 meter wide, painted in the oven and equipped with the same anchoring system and installations. Adapted for its easy re-placement according to the needs of each moment. The work tables are built from a black iron tubular profile structure that supports an envelope made of the same material as the floor.
A black H-shaped iron structure runs along the entire roof, designed with perlite, which in turn serves as an electrical rail and regiband. The facilities are visible with steel tubes that stand out both for the roof and for the buttressed concrete pillars. Lighting is distributed using a central longitudinal rail and cross rails for each specific area.
The central staircase is made of a mixed structure of laminated iron profile and concrete volume with a ceramic tread. The steps are illuminated longitudinally by LED strips. The protection consists of a tempered glass railing and varnished black iron sheet.
As a whole, Coblonal has designed a space that is representative of the Azul Acocsa brand, where its designs and materials are exposed in a situation of use so that its visitors can appreciate their qualities in their maximum expression.
