Design and ceramics renew a shopping center
FMG Fabbrica Marmi and architect Paolo Gianfrancesco, of THG Arkitektar Studio, have designed the restyling of the third floor of Reykjavik's largest shopping center. Ceramic, the central element of the project, covers floors, walls and furniture with versatile solutions and distinctive character.

The roof is a “flying” book covered with LED screens that project a selection of titles by the Swiss publisher onto the urban panorama. Inside, the pavilion mainly uses panels of fine-grain cork which, with its diamond shaped ashlar ceiling, guarantees a uniform exhibition space and soundproofing, facilitated by the collaboration and confidence of Portuguese firm Granorte as well as the students’ own crowdfunding.
