At the Seven store, sustainability and brand energy is the core of the design promoted through unrefined concrete wall looks and Metal sheet cladding. The light grey walls contrast with the dark metal fixtures, selected to add drama to the interior space. Neutral, grey walls insinuate the design of apparels and footwear. A more open area right at the entrance is a contiguous space where the focus is on product display through mannequins and nesting tables.
