The project began conceptually with the client bringing into the office a few vintage pieces of George Jensen jewelry, notably a sculptural silver bracelet from the 1960s. The motif of the bracelet, formally articulates most clearly in the ceiling, providing a spatial device that creates an eddy in the stream of humanity that flowed along the ‘street’. It is reflected in the formation of the jewelry cabinets and the faceted counter which further reinforces the manipulation of spatiality as it provides smaller deltas for the purchaser to nestle into.
