Chiara Isabella Porcelli
This retail store was designed for a local South African brand called,
PALM THE BRAND. It is an online store that caters for young women and adults, and primarily sells swimwear and summer apparel. The inspiration for the design of the store was mainly driven by the way the brand is presented on social media platforms such as instagram and facebook
The store features natural wooden flooring and palm trees wall prints to give it that “beachy” feeling. The ceiling, features a curve like structures to represent “waves”, this structure is also the primary light source for the store as it is self illuminating. Being that the brand is more sophisticated and not kitschy, the choice of materials and features within the store adopt a modern contemporary design style .

Con Noi Restaurant
Con Noi, meaning "With Us, is an Italian restaurant offering a unique dining experience. Through the concept of exposure, the restaurant is designed to be a transparent environment into the gastronomy of Italian cuisine, allowing customers to feel entertained and educated through the tradition that make up the meal they are about to enjoy.
Furthermore, the concept of the restaurant is to enhance the cultural integrity of the Italian culture, rather than creating a themed environment for customers to experience the Italian culture outside of Italy
