Patchi Showroom, Bahrain

Designed by Parisotto + Formenton Architetti and contracted to Havelock One, Patchi’s new boutique concept outlet in Bahrain City Centre covers 2,530 square feet. The designers’ primary aim was to create a contemporary retail, design-oriented space that frames and glorifies the excellence that Patchi represents in its field, while addressing the expectations of their sophisticated clientele. With this objective in mind, they aimed to celebrate the pleasure of tasting chocolates, and of sharing and enjoying moments. Hence, the concept of the design includes a striking architectural box, emphasizing the excellence that Patchi represents in the world of premium chocolates.

A precise choice of materials in the interior include Travertino Navona and natural oak for the flooring. The adaptation of different laying schemes and formats play together to form the design of the surface. The walls feature different treatments, flat or tridimensionality for a more dynamic look, and the space houses different libraries designed to offer a focused display.

Havelock One’s joinery and fit-out teams collaborated to meet the specifics of Patchi Chocolate shop fittings. The illuminated brand sign on the black façade with the large glass panels mounted throughout the store invites shoppers to take a break and enjoy a treat. The shop fittings were completed with marble and wooden flooring, furnished with illuminated display tables and wall cabinets, giving the outlet a feel of luxury, elegance and exclusivity. Patchi’s new boutique outlet concept truly realises the balance between brand, function, luxury and art.
