Store of the St. Petersburg Leather Brand “WERF”

Category
Best Implemented Interior Design Project for Public Space

About the project (provided by the applicant)
The challenge was to transform the space in just a few days so that the store could start operating immediately, while gradually completing the project during ongoing operations. At the same time, it was important to make the space functional and comfortable, reflecting the style and spirit of the company.

The concept of the project is continuity. The interior design needed to continue the story and concept of the company’s other stores, preserving certain elements of the previous interior while rethinking and transforming them. In this way, the main values of the brand—care, durability, and functionality—are supported. Each store in the network has its own unique atmosphere: a cozy, home-like feeling, plants, a soft relaxation area, and a space where customers are offered coffee. The aim was to create the impression that visitors are not in a store, but at a friend’s home. Despite limited time, all these nuances were successfully implemented in the space.
