Skein were engaged to develop the design through a detailed design development and documentation set bringing the conceptual idea into project realisation. The use of seamless perforated steel shelving, white felt display bases, matte finished ceilings and walls, coloured ottomans and concealed openings allow for a meandering and inquisitive journey.
Skein worked closely with the store manager and lead contractor TCM for this retail space and joinery suite. The Gallery Store showcases local makers and craftspeople and also books, gifts and limited edition publications from gallery exhibitions.
