Showni
Showni is a clothing boutique interior of 108 square meters located in Suzhou. An arc structure of irregular curves is placed at the center of the rectangular plan and holds the display area for key products. Large French windows and a half-moon-shaped doorway open the shop to the street and bring daylight inside. Red air conditioning hoses are suspended overhead as a visual guide and contrast with the white surfaces. Terrazzo floor tiles replace ground terrazzo to limit cost, while acrylic display booths and transparent shelves keep the space light.
Showni Clothing Boutique by Nianwei Zhu has been highlighted as an innovative representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Showni Clothing Boutique was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2021. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design award that rewards exceptional design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
