Lisa Gozlan Jewelry, Yorkdale

× Clarisa Llaneza

A jewellery boutique arranged around a travertine plinth bank, its glass vitrines set flush into the top and its pull-out displays and drawer storage built inside. The feature light overhead is ours as well, shaded in sheer linen.

The display reads as stacked travertine. The work is inside it: pull-out displays and hidden drawer storage.

A boutique for Lisa Gozlan Jewelry at Yorkdale Shopping Centre, in conjunction with Clarisa Llaneza Studio, who also drew the Square One store. The whole millwork scope was ours: the travertine plinth bank and its glass vitrines, the wall panelling in reconstituted white oak veneer with a pale stain, the plastered niche lined in travertine, the lit display niches, and the cash desk.

A designer looks at the central display twice. First it reads as simple stacked travertine; then it opens, with displays that pull out and drawer storage hidden inside. Above it hangs a feature light we made for the room, built in mixed materials with only its sheer linen shade on show.

Drawer bank

The central display is a bank of drawers faced in coursed travertine, stepping down from the counter, with a glass vitrine set flush into the top and an integrated spotlight. Inside are pull-out displays and hidden drawer storage. One structure carries stone faces, glass, and moving parts, and none of that engineering shows on the outside.

Niche

The niche is set into the plaster wall: a custom-shaped structure finished in Venetian plaster and lined in travertine. The stone runs along the back of the display shelf and up one side, where a brass pendant hangs. Underneath, flush cabinet doors close over storage, so the same structure carries a lit display and the closed storage beneath it.

Shelving

A full-height recess is set into the wall as a shelving display, fitted with custom stainless steel shelves. The shelves are gathered at one height; above and below them the recess runs empty, so the cut in the wall reads before anything placed in it does.
