An evolving boutique concept, capable of anticipating the change and the growth or the decline of the needs. The study of the living world led the design team to investigate organization at the cellular level, and the recurrence of structures and associated forms. Several natural phenomena on different scales, such as the creation of honeycombs in a beehive, the erosion of rock formations and the formation of basaltic organs, were also inspirational on a formal level. The developed approach is based on the creation of simple elements (cells) that can be spatially composed and arranged to build more complex modules.
