This small 450sf outdoor sales office needed a major facelift. The existing space lacked storage, adequate display for merchandise, and a functional layout for customers and staff. More importantly, it did not represent the company’s luxury home décor and design image. By blending contemporary and industrial finishes along with modern technologies we were able to transform this small, outdated sales office into a warm, open, and inviting functional space for Pottery World’s customers and staff.

The new sales counter layout is split symmetrically between two opposing entry doors with staff access positioned to the middle. The material for the sale counters features a dramatic dark solid surface, “Laurent” by Dekton, with copper veins and is accented with a Corten steel low transaction counter. A wood soffit lined with flat steel panels above accentuates each counter.

The new layout for the product sample display wall retained the existing concept, but we applied a contemporary language to it. The individual samples are magnetized and positioned on flat steel panels backed by a wood accent wall. The existing analog product books were replaced with touch screen monitors allowing easy updating as new products are introduced and old products are discontinued.

While two complementing styles of carpet tile flooring help dampen the acoustics from the solid surfaces, they also help in area designation and directional purpose to the new layout.
