Akin Atelier has developed the gallery shop inside the new Art Gallery of NSW in Sydney, Australia.

Located in the entrance pavilion of the Art Gallery of NSW's building of the Sydney Modern Project, the gallery shop designed by Akin Atelier is an immersive resin installation.

Developed with surfboard designer Hayden Cox, the installation shapes a luminous space of shifting perspectives and refractions of light.

Fluid contours of bio-resin wrap the shop's perimeter to form a transparent margin which serves as both boundary and display.

Opened in December 2022, the new building – designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA – is the centrepiece of the Art Gallery’s Sydney Modern Project expansion.

This project has been longlisted in the retail interior (small) category of Dezeen Awards 2023.
