Spatial celebration of paper art…

Stationery retail brand Paper Store is located inside a small hotel on a busy commercial road in Delhi. The idea while designing the store space was to create a space that represents all that the products stand for and evoke a studio-cum-workshop-like feel, while exuding elegance and sophistication at the same time.

Architecture Discipline, a multi-disciplinary design studio that explores space through the scales of urban design, architecture, public art, installations, furniture, and product design, took up the challenge and converted it into a calm, uncluttered space that allows the customers to configure their stationery.

Says Akshat Bhatt, Principal Architect at Architecture Discipline, while speaking about the project objective, ”The client brief was to design a place that would express the quality & sensibility of their bespoke stationery while announcing its presence on a busy street. Basically, a small space of 12x16 on the ground floor was to be designed to accommodate a fairly unique proposition – a paper store that specialized in customized invitations and stationery. Since there is an artisan-like quality to the making of the paper, we wanted to reflect the same level of craftsmanship in the store, making it feel almost like a workshop that one would find in a backyard, a private haven. Concurrently, it was important for the client to be able to customize the details as they innovated with newer products,” he adds.
