This office and art supply store is the first one of a series of 150 m2 NL stores. It is located inside a Strip Center and continues with the same design and materials in regard to the other NL chain stores.

Yet an innovation is made in the furniture –and this innovation characterizes the new NL chain stores. An innovative wall-gondola is designed and custom made to fit the whole wall, from floor to ceiling. From afar, these gondolas simulate a city skyline and close up, the gondola user is offered products in a more playful way.

These gondolas also create hollow spaces that allow the buyer to look into the following corridor of the store. This gondola model is made up of irregular and orthogonal modules that can be assembled to create unique, individual sets. They are named “tetris” gondolas.

This furniture consists of irregular andorthogonal modules that can be added between(among) yes to create varied sets.

They are named  "Gondolas Tetris".
