Showroom for Adidas — Inspiré by Luis Barragán
To celebrate Adidas' anniversary, I designed a conceptual interior for a temporary pop-up store, drawing inspiration from the bold colors and spatial poetry of architect Luis Barragán.
The goal was to merge Adidas' dynamic brand identity with Barragán’s emotional use of color, light, and geometry.
The space is structured around a strict palette of four tones/materials, creating a cohesive and impactful atmosphere.
The layout is divided into three main zones:
-
Welcome Area: Designed to deliver a strong first impression, both visually and emotionally.
-
Product Display Zone: Highlights Adidas items through custom built-in furniture inspired by architectural forms.
-
VIP Lounge: Located on a mezzanine (covering no more than 50% of the floor area), it offers an exclusive experience and is accessed via a sculptural staircase.
This project explores the fusion of contemporary brand storytelling with architectural identity.
Vertical Labyrinth
This project envisions a vertical labyrinth designed for a client with a whimsical personality — eccentric, unpredictable, and delightfully nonconformist.
The structure takes the form of a seven-level tower (ground floor + six stories), connected by a series of deliberately unconventional staircases: warped spirals, floating steps, and Escher-like impossible illusions.
Each floor offers a distinct experience, blending surprise, absurdity, and spatial experimentation.
Rather than following a logical path, the visitor embarks on a journey of discovery — a vertical adventure that feels like stepping into a surreal and imaginative world.
Summary of the Fundamentals
This project explores the exterior architecture of the Centre Georges Pompidou through a series of nine three-dimensional vignettes, each illustrating a specific architectural theme.
Themes illustrated: solids and voids, load-bearing structures, straight lines, curved lines, shadows, light, transformation from 2D to 3D, rhythmic repetition, use of color.
Each vignette highlights a distinct visual and spatial element from the unique architectural language of the Pompidou Centre.

Form Language Inspired by Oscar Niemeyer – A Three-Scale Design Study
Based on a formal analysis of Oscar Niemeyer's architectural language, I developed a personal vocabulary of forms that served as the foundation for three distinct design projects, each at a different scale.
-
Micro-architecture: Stage
-
Furniture element: Vinyl table
-
Portable object: Music speaker
Each project interprets the DNA, complexity, and sculptural elegance of Niemeyer’s architecture at its respective scale, while remaining true to the expressive, fluid forms and spatial sensitivity that define his work.
