"The detailing and the impeccable mix of materials of Nikos' jewelry became the drive for this whole narrative, says Mavropoulos, the firm's founder and director. Much like a coveted velvet case that holds a treasured bauble, the designers set out to create a showcase just as memorable as the fine necklaces and earrings housed within. Located in a 1960s building, the storefront's asymmetric window framed with travertine sets the tone, inviting passerby to step inside."
"A gallery-like setting serves as a backdrop for the jewels. A custom oak floor made of blackened, brushed planks adds richness. Strategically placed display cases include a mix of mirror-polished blades and bronze connecting points, a nod to the gleam of precious stones. Silk wallpaper offers a soft contrast to the alloys in every corner, while a green marble tabletop provides a touch of bold color. At the rear, a cabinet is placed on a structural column, which produces a sculptural effect."
Katerina Dionysopoulou and Billy Mavropoulos of Bureau de Change designed an Athens flagship for Nikos Koulis inspired by his signature geometric jewelry and material contrasts. The storefront occupies a 1960s building and features an asymmetric travertine-framed window that invites passerby. Interiors present a gallery-like backdrop with custom blackened oak floors, mirror-polished and bronze display details, silk wallpaper, and a green marble tabletop. A rear cabinet on a structural column creates a sculptural moment, while a mezzanine wrapped in illuminated glass prisms houses a salon and viewing room with contemporary furnishings. An embossed aluminum facade and locally treated metal panels reference city walls and jewelry-box ornamentation.
