A new Benetton store in Russia by the portuguese architect Luís Pereira Miguel
Combispace, a project of the portuguese architect Luís Pereira Miguel, won the Colorsdesigner international competition promoted by POLI.design, a Consortium of the Politecnico di Milano (Italy) open to young creatives, designers and architects asked to develop new retail concepts for large international clothing enterprises. The winning project will be applied to a new Benetton store.
There were candidates from 46 countries and the jury selected six final projects. The prizes will be awarded in October and the execution of the project will be followed by the winner and will be built in the city of Omsk, Russia.
The Jury's final choice fell unanimously on Combispace, which "unifies in an original and fluid manner the two floors of the historical building object of the competition, thus creating an articulate system of transforming spaces and of exposition of merchandise that well responds to the functional and communicative needs of the present topic".
