Concept and Features:

The Mezi Store comes from a family's Egyptian, Moroccan and Israeli backgrounds and has been a constant inspiration for the brand's jewellery designs. The new design of the store features Moroccan dessert-inspired curves on the entrance and display wall shelving, creating an inviting and visually engaging attraction to passers-by.  

The jewellery display structures have been inspired by the pillars of the Islamic faith, the fine lines of timber doweling create captivating detail with a reusable material for long-term sustainability. Other sustainable materials such as renewable hardwood flooring in a natural sand colour were chosen to give the store a fresh, uplifting feel. 

The store has a warm colour palette with elegant soft pink marble on the tops of the product displays. The concrete walls inside and outside the store are coated in textured plaster echoing the rough buildings in Egypt. The display wall has been cut into the existing left-hand wall to maximise space and create different depths in the store.
