The Enofilo wine shop is a compact retail interior in Buenos Aires designed by architects Juan Campanini and Josefina Sposito. The project organizes display, storage, and tasting functions within a narrow footprint, using built-in elements to maximize usable space. Wine bottles are arranged across modular shelving that wraps the perimeter, creating a continuous surface that functions as both display and storage. Circulation is kept clear and direct, guiding visitors through the shop without visual obstruction.
Material choices emphasize warmth and restraint, with wood surfaces paired with neutral finishes to foreground the products. Shelving dimensions are calibrated to standard bottle sizes, allowing consistent spacing and visual order. Lighting is integrated into the shelving system to illuminate labels evenly without glare. The counter and service areas are aligned with the overall geometry, maintaining continuity across the interior.
