Swiss design firm OOS undertook the project of designing the first showroom for the Albert Reichmuth wine store. Located at Feldstrasse 62 in Zurich, “La Galerie du Vin” as well as being a retail outlet for an already established wine store, is offering wine tasting seminars for its regular clients and the general public at large.
On entering the showroom, one is immediately impressed by the use of wine cases as the main medium of design. They can be found suspended from the ceiling, on the walls as well as on the floor, both as functional and decorative features. The lighting by Sommerlatte & Sommerlatte light up the vibrant colours of the wine bottles and complement them. The main reception area is found in the centre of the showroom, where experts are available for advice and consultation. In the main, the wines offered for sale are French and number around 570, displayed in groups according to places of origin.
The innovative style of the main showroom is extended into the wine tasting area. Here, up to 15 people may take part in wine tasting seminars. In addition, the inner courtyard, which serves as a wine collection depot, has also been redecorated. The newly designed signage as well as naming is the work of The Caspar, Politera advertising agency. This store is a must for all enthusiasts of fine wine and for those who wish to upgrade their knowledge of the same.
