Heritage, South Ex

Heritage is a boutique retail store, whose rustic interiors aim at creating a bold and dramatic statement, while also providing the users with a unique and relaxed shopping experience.

Taking inspiration from the store’s raw, organic and contemporary expression of conventional handlooms, the material palette for the bespoke furniture and retail fixtures was outlined by rustic metals, weathered wood, and metal industrial detailing.

There has been a strong focus on meticulous, minute detailing to tie various interior elements together through the furnishing, while creating the perfect balance to allow the display to shine through. All materials, from rusted iron and reclaimed wood, to elements in polished and rustic copper, have been designed to articulate their truest form, creating an artistically immersive experience.

The entrance is marked by a multicolored screen made of threads, glass and suspended metallic alphabets. The threads symbolize the vibrant and delicate process of weaving, accentuating the dreaminess and warmth of the surrounding wood and exposed bricks. Meanwhile, the letters follow a pattern created from deconstructing the word Heritage, penned in two different languages, signifying modernization while paying a homage to the nostalgia of its humble grassroots.

A solid, reclaimed wooden counter sits in the center of the space under a huge bespoke copper light installation, creating a strong visual statement while also drawing attention to the display behind. This irregular shaped counter celebrates the aged wood, including all of its cracks, grains and knots, lending a serene stoicism and sense of romanticism to the interiors. The display behind is made with reclaimed wood and copper, complementing the setting and further adding to the elegance and charm of the store.
