GRID Store / Studio Animal

Its ephemeral character determined the construction system and materiality: 100% recyclable cardboard. For the manufacturing of this project, a single material was used: a 15 mm honeycomb cardboard panel with a white stucco exterior finish. In total, 120 cardboard sheets were used. Each shelf is formed by double-layer ribs installed with visible edges, showcasing the material in its original raw state and generating the store's identity: the brown mesh.Text description provided by the architects.GRID is the first project of Munich's line of accessories and bags. It was a temporary store primarily working with two premises: isotropy and responsible temporality. The store aims to be an isotropic space, meaning it seeks to have the same properties in all directions. To achieve this, a mesh of 60 x 60 cm modules is projected to display the products: each gap houses a product. The mesh extends on the floor, walls, and ceiling, generating this infinite and distinctly virtual condition.The pieces were distributed on the sheets, taking advantage of the maximum panel length, optimizing the material, and avoiding waste. The double-layer honeycomb panel allows us to achieve the necessary structural rigidity to support both its own weight and the weight of the products.
