Akhor Geneva
A watch and jewellery boutique for AKHOR. Brass vitrines on slender legs, cobalt display beds and back-lit disc signage sit against Calacatta marble, sunburst oak and raw-silk walls — a small shop given the calm of a gallery.
Brass vitrines with cobalt beds in front of the marble signage wall.
The sales floor is arranged as a cluster of free-standing brass and glass cases on a single wool rug, so that the customer walks around the collection rather than along it. Window displays hang from brass rods so that the street sees the pieces, not the furniture.
Two materials define the walls: book-matched Calacatta marble, into which the illuminated AKHOR disc and recessed cobalt niches are cut, and sunburst-veneered oak on the doors and columns. A marble console with a single case marks the threshold.
Behind the shop, a consultation area is lined with a relief plaster wall under a chandelier of gold leaves. A watchmaker’s bench, a client desk in cream lacquer and cobalt chairs are followed by a small glazed lounge for waiting.
