FZDP created a standout shoe showroom in New York City for luxury sneaker brand Filling Pieces by making the most of the available floor space.
Although there are many gallery spaces and footwear stores that feature displays on the walls at eye level, this dynamic space boasts an interesting floor installation instead. The entirety of the space is united by linear elements that guide the eye to different details of the interior, ultimately leading visitors to the floor, which boasts five interesting "islands" for visitors to discover.
Each distinct grouping of products has been arranged to represent a different style from the brand, recreating a museum-like experience in the shoe showroom.
