Atelier XY has transformed a former research and documents archive into a retail interior called NOME Archive.

This retail space is treated as an archive where the collection is transformed from the original function of recording and collecting, to displaying designed goods.

Cabinets are arranged in a matrix of stepped heights from high to low, sitting neatly on a set axis, creating an interesting order.

The sides of the cabinet are yellow on one side and blue on the other. As the customer walks through the shop, the props appear in different colours depending on the angle of observation.

This project has been longlisted in the large retail interior category of Dezeen Awards 2021.
