BARN arch undertook the showroom architectural design and application of the Cotbox brand in Eminönü Yeşildirek.
In some projects, without a doubt, location remains a constant focus at every stage of the project. Cotbox is an epitome of this; the design tries to keep context vibrant through establishing a visual contrast and differentiation from the location. This approach towards context and design is materialized with the means of exhibition.

The material selections were chosen to be compatible with the position and perception of the brand in the market.
We decided to display the product with units focused on the right light and attention, and without repetition. Showcases are as permeable as possible, the exhibition hangers are directed towards the street and designed to be perceivable from the outside.
