Russell & George have designed a jewellery shop utilising a palette of black, in varying sheens and intensity.

The store design creates a moody, immersive and playful experience where light can be focussed on even the smallest of elements.

Designed as a simple love letter to Melbourne as it emerges from a year of Covid-19 lockdowns, embodying this jewellery brand's fascination with the ocean, Sarah & Sebastian Armadale delicately echoes a quote by Naoshi Arakawa, "Even in the depths of the darkest oceans, some light always pierces through".

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