Sekana & Katea Gri Showroom accommodates two fashion brands under one roof.

Situated in the heart of the Moldova’s capital city, the showroom is a place where women fleeing from the hustle of the city plunge in a warm and cozy atmosphere.

The showroom has two floors.

On the first floor, to support the feminine classic collection that embodies a feminine sophisticated look, the designers dressed the complex metal structures in textiles, creating soft intricate shapes.

They used wooden furniture, raw wooden stools, softened corners of mirrors, walls and brackets, which cannot go unnoticed.

The brand accommodated on the second floor appeals both to masculinity and feminine sensuality.

To integrate this trend in the interior design concept, the design team left the metallic load-bearing structures, brutal in nature, uncovered.

To create contrast, cyclorama-shaped walls with rounded corners were added.

The illumination of the interior on this floor is softened by textured curtains and natural fabrics.

The wooden structural floor found under the old coating was left uncovered and was partially reconstructed with concrete inserts.

The designers used wood, metal and fabric to bring out the natural, soft and strong characters that the two brands reflect.

The holistic atmosphere is created by the diffused light flooding the entire interior and gently emphasizing the uniform structural paint on the walls and ceiling.
