The Sinaldaba team have developed a neutral design, a place where items can be collected in a certain order, but also serve as display stands. These are located in the side areas of the store, which provides some visual continuity. Besides, there is a mobile part used as an auxiliary counter.
All these elements are constituted by materiality whose objective is the search for a traditional identity, that of a workshop-workshop. In the same way, the tools are arranged on a kind of metallic canvas that serves as an exhibitor.

Description of project by Sinaldaba
The project was born with the aim of eliminating the superfluous, seeking to reach the essential.
A neutral container is generated where you can collect some elements that give order and serve as display containers for the product. These are "centrifuged" towards the sides of the store, seeking visual continuity by unloading the central space in which a large circular counter is generated that articulates the whole and solves the need for workstations. Finally, a mobile piece is added that functions as an auxiliary counter that organizes circulation and provides auxiliary support for the exhibition.
The materiality is the product of the search for the traditional identity of a workshop, the order and placement of its tools, using only a metallic canvas (experimenting with a veil of deployé in aluminum hiding the overexposure in the usual storage in this type of shops, steel for the contact surfaces and galvanized for the exhibition areas) to highlight the product on display and introducing walnut wood to the counter in order to humanize and balance the whole.
