Press Release: Opening of Ports 1961 Boutique in Harvey Nichols
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010 Opening: March 17th 2010, 6-8pm
Archi-Tectonics NY/NL cordially invites you to the opening of the Ports 1961 Boutique in Harvey Nichols.
With the new design by Archi-Tectonics, the Ports 1961 Boutique in London is the first of several planned stores.
The walnut plank flooring is developed into a continuous surface that wraps from floor to wall to ceiling, creating the feeling of a catwalk that draws the shopper in, and a backdrop to the display projecting the latest fashion shows
A golden metallic fabric wrapped wall with a custom stitched and padded surface was developed as a shimmering backdrop to the wood surface. Lighting is used to enhance the space’s geometry, with a light cove concealed above the wood plank ceiling that creates a contrasting glow on the adjacent white painted ceilings.
Archi-Tectonics also specified the furnishings and special lighting elements. The final effect is a rich , integrated environment that delivers maximum dramatic impact to a compact space.
The opening will be by invitation only and will take place at the newly designed Ports 1961 Boutique.
Venue: Ports 1961 109-125 Knightsbridge, London, 2nd floor
