RETAIL DESIGN KEITUM / SYLT

Commercial retail space for womens and menswear

Store Design Concept — Ewa Giers
Architecture — A & O Architekten

Commercial retail space for womens and menswear for the fashion brand Closed, located on a resort island and fully renovated after more than ten years. The concept draws strongly from the character of its location, translating the atmosphere of the island into a distinct look and feel, both visually and tactilely.

A key design element is the use of a Belgian tile with an intentionally pronounced joint pattern, which becomes a defining feature throughout the store. The interior is shaped by a selection of unique, handcrafted pieces, including custom wooden centre furniture and seating developed by a Belgian artist. In the rear womenswear area, a small coffee bar introduces an additional point of interaction, extending the store experience beyond retail.

A centrally positioned accessories area is combined with a generous lounge zone, reinforcing the idea of the store as a place to linger. The concept is complemented by curated interior pieces from international designers such as Agnes Studio and India Mahdavi, alongside selected artworks, contributing to a layered and distinctive interior character.
