New futuristic design by Francesc Rifé for Nino Álvarez in Madrid

A blend of futurism and tradition

The design created by Francesc Rifé for the new Nino Álvarez space stands out for its innovative and rational approach. Stainless steel, a symbol of change and experimentation, is the predominant element that envelops the entire side of the space. From the entrance to the dressing rooms, passing through the counter and the bar area, steel adds an industrial and futuristic touch.

In contrast, Marquina marble, with its natural veins, maintains a connection with tradition and the sophisticated style that has always defined the brand's identity. Marble tiles decorate the floor creating an effect reminiscent of a large abstract artwork, adding a unique visual component to the project.

The creativity of Francesc Rifé Studio

The heart of the project is undoubtedly the creativity of Francesc Rifé Studio, which has been able to reinterpret the space with a bold and refined approach. A metallic backbone, extending along the ceiling, not only integrates technical lighting but also creates functional structures that allow for elegant hanging of clothes. This design element, despite being highly technical, does not lose sight of aesthetics, demonstrating the studio's mastery in combining beauty and functionality.

A rational and detailed project

Another distinctive aspect of the project is the use of neutral and natural materials. The grey microcement, chosen to cover the floor and walls, provides a discreet background that highlights the other elements of the store. The surfaces in black stained oak, used for tables, shelves, and display stands, create a strong contrast and blend harmoniously with the structural pillars.

This rational approach, where each element is designed to have a specific function and aesthetic role, is typical of the modus operandi of the Rifé studio. The attention to detail and the coherence of materials demonstrate a comprehensive design vision, capable of connecting past and future through a clear and sophisticated visual narrative.

An example of successful collaboration

This new project represents another chapter in a fruitful collaboration between the studio of Francesc Rifé and Nino Álvarez, which has been ongoing for over 15 years. The synergy between the two entities results in a space that reflects the brand's philosophy, with a design that evolves without ever losing sight of the original essence. The result is an environment that expresses contemporaneity, without giving up its classic and refined soul.
