FILD: Podolyan Store

Is completely black painted this shop in Kiev, designed by FILD making the interior of the store a part of the window display itself to expand the space.

The space provided to FILD by the client for this store in Kiev was limited by its commercial area, but the advantage of the pre-revolution building with high ceilings was its big arch show window.

The color pallet of the place corresponds to the Podolyan brand: black with light and dark shades of grey. The advantage of a big show window and detailed lighting arrangement gave FILD an opportunity to design the interior in dark shades, combining a variety of molding textures.

The concrete tiles were customized by SolidHeads specifically for this project, due to a specific intention to escape from standard forms and to create geometrical patterns.

Some tile pieces were branded with Podolyan logo and were spread around the floor in chaotic order. Black plywood decorative panels emulate the geometric pattern of the floor.

Minimalistic and subtle lines of the delicate furniture are in contrast with dark interior mood and thin metal contours of the furniture units painted in light grey. The structure of the racks reflects the geometrical arrangement of the floor tile. Multi functional metal rack grids are placed on the walls to create clothing and accessories compositions.  

A set of upholstered seats and a concrete table top are situated in the middle to accentuate the centerpiece of the room. 36 Edison’s bulbs are floating in the air above the furniture unit, creating a cozy atmosphere.
