The Sixty clothing chain has a preexisting aesthetic based on the design work of Verner Panton. The store wished to project an image born of the optimistic mid-20th century that also leans towards the futuristic.
Finish materials figured importantly in the design of the store. As in Panton’s work, color and rounded shapes predominate the look. The general ambience is upbeat: brightly lighted, shiny, color-saturated casework, pearlescent and vibrantly -colored flooring, and stainless steel mirror the seamless, buoyant 1960’s style. The design team wished to introduce an element that would be unique to the store. This comes in the form of a serpentine shape that pushes down into the vinyl ceiling from above. This shape is extrapolated to two dimensions at the curvilinear floor material break below. |
