Design studio Tutto Bene has unveiled fashion floors and private shopping space at a department store in Basel, juxtaposing concrete floors and steel details with soft drapery and illuminated laminated paper. The fashion floors at the Globus Basel department store, located in the heart of the Swiss city, have been given a new look as part of a wider overhaul of the retailer. Tutto Bene took the exterior of the department store, which has an original art nouveau facade, into consideration when creating the new interior. To showcase the fashion pieces, the studio drew on art gallery layouts and added softly illuminated lightboxes that snake through the rooms.

Tutto Bene kept the color palette of the fashion floors mostly black and white, but added a few blocks of color. These were used ‘as navigation cues rather than decoration – avoiding the still often gender-coded retail palette.’ As well as the main fashion floors, the studio designed The Collector's Apartment – a space specially tailored for private shopping. The Collector's Apartment space also features a mirrored dressing room, decorated with a custom-made drape screen printwork designed by Tutto Bene. Vintage furniture also decorates the private shopping area, such as Tokyo bar stools by designer Rodney Kinsman and a 1970s coffee table by architect Cini Boeri. In addition, Tutto Bene created a bespoke ebonised wood table for the space.
