Since construction solutions, materials and images are not only collected in atelier oï’s archives but also permanently transformed. According to a context or a client, it makes sense to invest in development work.
A simple experiment may lead to many shapes and forms. Seemingly purposeless improvisation can become a design method much quicker than the systematic analysis of tasks and problems.
For the latest Rimowa concept store designed by atelier oï, the material experimentation can be seen with aluminium folding and boring, based on and inspired by the metal know-how of the first airplanes and of the classical Rimowa suitcases.
This led to the opening of Rimowa‘s first flagship store in the heart of Paris in February 2017. The five-level, 600 sqm store showcases the entire range of Rimowa high-end luggage and offers a full range of services.
