Yeah, I was one of the 10 lucky Display Artists in Europe that got to go to Barcelona to open the first Urban Outfitters in Spain.
Here are some snaps of projects i was involved in.
If you have a chance to check out the store-DO IT! It´s beautiful!
The first project i got to work on was the "Bagwall". The idea was to make the whole wall look like one unit with different depths. I got to work with Tamas (he trained me a year ago) LOTS of 45 degree cut, LOTS of filling and sanding. but i really like the endresult. it´s massive beast!
Then Tamas and I built the "cold weather wall". I used a concept i came up with for a backdrop in cologne...only this time it´s more than doupble the size and we got to use super nice materials for this one. it´s walnut veneered ply with inlets of pine. the shelfes are made of walnut, pine and black mdf.
i really like the use of negative space in this one.
This is a scaffolding structure Tamas and i build.
once we figured out thelayout it was a pretty quick job with a nice impact.
That´s a Plattform I made from solid 13 x 13 beams.
Here is the Vinyl Area we built.
Here are the Shoerisers i built. i love how sharp and perfect the edges are eventhough it´s a pretty soft foam.
See all these wooden triangle shapes in the top windows?
we had big squares of ply with these solid-wood-triangles staples on to...
that might have been the most exhausting job i did in those 10 days because they were heavy as shit and it was quiet difficult to get into those top windows. have you seen indiana jones "the last crusade" where he has to take the leap of faith? this is what it felt like...only with a very heavy piece of wood in your hands :)
It was worth it though...it looks incredible!
That´s me trying to think...
