Baranowitz+Kronenberg design the LA jewellery boutique for Âme
Renowned architects Baranowitz+Kronenberg (B+K) have designed the flagship store for America’s newest jewellery brand Âme that prides itself in creating a new style of fine jewelry using only lab-grown diamonds. B+K’s design for Âme aims to redefine the high-end jewelry store environment. It engages customers with how jewelry is presented, engaged and explored. Music, scent, and touch are all key elements in the retail experience. Elinor Avni, Âme’s Creative Director is changing the game by enabling customers to wear high-end jewelry with freedom and Avni’s jewelry designs are housed in hanging capsules, and in state of the art glass cloches that sit on metallic display pods. Each pod has its own unique sound scored by DJ and musician Mimi Xu, who has previously worked with designer fashion brands including Prada and Marni. London-based perfume designer Azzi Glasser has created a unique scent for the brand that forms a permanent feature in the store. Her vision was to capture the essence of the growing diamond.
