Eveline Frischknecht

St. Gallen, Switzerland

Housed in one of the oldest buildings in St. Gallen, Eveline Frischknechts renowned jewellery store received a refresh and an extension in anticipation of her 10th anniversary. 

The store was doubled in size by connecting and transforming the adjacent garage into a new retail space. An elaborate lighting scheme, along with the concept of displaying the jewellery pieces in a museum like setting, guarantees to attract new and old customers alike.

Drawing upon the historical setting, the design scheme incorporates a muted palette of white and greys, whilst innovative attention to details, such as bronze and marble inlays into the oak wood flooring, add a touch of luxury. The main focal point are the intricate lantern like display cases, allowing to show a variety of unique jewellery pieces.
