Crisp and contemporary, Brent Wilson Atelier forms an effortless display of masculine sophistication. Perfected by interior designer Nickolas Gurtler, the customised menswear store exudes luxury, promising an elevated retail experience.
Expressing a refined take on the industrial design style, Sydney based Brent Wilson Atelier is well suited to its established clientele. The interior boldly echoes the contours of the male silhouette using the contrast of black, white and off-white, which throws angular furniture into sharp focus. Save for a lick of paint, the ceiling is left untouched, injecting a sense of ruggedness into the otherwise-polished space.
High-quality finishes enhance the minimal palette with layers of gloss and shine. Clad in Black Caviar marble, the central island reflects a low level of light, flanked by striking black lacquer columns that provide a mirror image of the scene before them. In contrast, matte Polytec Black Venette is used to draw attention to the clothing racks and shelving area. Polytec Rojo Walnut adorns the display pillars and a neighbouring island, punctuating the scheme with a warmer vision of material richness.
Offering soft illumination, considered pieces of lighting lift the atmosphere of the store, allowing customers to shop with ease. Covenant Wall Sconces by Lost Profile Studio decorate the main retail space. The Distance Table Lamp forms a minimal addition to the tailoring room, and the Surface Sconce by Studio Henry Wilson casts a glowing light across the wall of the changing room.
Completed with a selection of neutrally coloured designer rugs, Brent Wilson Atelier invites customers to relish the luxury retail experience. Balancing the influences of colour and materiality, Nickolas Gurtler Office achieves the pinnacle of masculine interior design.
