RETAIL RENOVATION COMPETITION
CONVERSION - SPECIALTY STORE,
SALES AREA UNDER 10,000 SQ. FT.
FIRST
PLACE
Josefinas Portugal Nolita Flagship - New York
E
merging from an online-only
existence, Josefinas Portugal (New
York) broke into bricks and mortar in
New York's Nolita neighborhood with the goal
of exposing more consumers to its brand in
an environment that represents the humble
beauty of its handcrafted ballet flat shoes.
The long, narrow architecture of the store
- typical of the locale - was visually expanded
with mirror-clad walls, and feminine touches
such as mother of pearl wallpaper, plush furnishings and rose gold accents soften the
space's original industrial-style shell. A custom rose gold tree and "branch leg" fixtures,
sculpted by a Portuguese artisan, tie into the
retailer's heritage and act as subtle focal pieces.
"The store speaks to the femininity of Josefinas' world, balancing it with a young, fresh
feel, while incorporating the distinctive heritage of the brand through the use of exclusively handmade design elements that speak

to Portuguese craftsmanship," says Christian
Lahoude, principal, Christian Lahoude Studio
(New York).
The project's hurdles primarily involved
its limited budget, explains Lahoude. Some
simple cost-savers included painting exposed
BEFORE
ductwork and adding beams rather
than rebuilding the ceiling.
VMSD's 2017 judges appreciated
the interior's simplicity: "Even though
we could say this appears to be a fairly
traditional retail space, their interpretation of the space and experience is pretty
innovative," said Bink Zengel, vp - brand
experience innovation, marketing, Luxottica (Milan).
Another competition judge, Matt
Bosserman, associate vice president -
design, L Brands (Columbus, Ohio), added,
"They had a clear direction to make themselves look different from their competitors."
