The opening scene from a Wes Anderson film provided a starting point for the interior of this bottle shop in Los Angeles, by locally based Studio Paul Chan.The first LA location for Boisson combines elements of mid-century Hollywood design and art deco in a 1,160-square-foot (108-square-metre) space to showcase a selection of non-alcoholic beverages.
The studio installed walnut-stained wooden wall panelling with areas of "calming" dusty green lime wash spaced evenly in between.These materials are contrasted by thin stainless steel shelves upon which the products are displayed along both side walls.A long narrow wooden table runs through the centre of the space, creating another spot for presenting the bottles on top, and adding storage in the form of open racks below.
At the back, illuminated glass bricks are stacked within a steel structure to form a curved counter, upon which a curvaceous Pipistrello Table Lamp by Italian architect Gae Aulenti is placed.Sconces that echo the shapes of the glass blocks are positioned on the walls, together creating a warm glow within the space.
