aNcora CONCEPT

aNcora Store is a concept store with a delicate curation of old and new design objects. Within the space also lives the aNcora bistrot, which serves breakfast, aperitivo, and dinner. From tableware to chairs, guests can use, consume, and purchase everything across the space.

The space atmosphere should be intimate, fun, and inspiring. It is where guests constantly come to find inspiration and new objects for their collection, share a glass of wine with a friend, or try a new delicious but simple dish.

The overall look of the space is inspired by rustic elements combined with a minimal display and natural hues. The objective is to create a neutral, yet organic space that invites objects displayed to rotate and create harmony among them. The inspiration for the general aesthetic comes from modern rustic spaces that incorporate wood elements as their primary material and pair it with organic textures. The base layer of the color palette will be neutral, leaving space and adapting to pops of color from the objects on display.

The shelving for the retail and kitchen would be built in either as part of the walls or as mounted wood furniture. A central window skylight would fill the space with natural light.
