Russell&George的沉浸式深海之旅

怪异的洞穴带我们踏上了一段旅程，向我们展示浩瀚海洋的力量和美丽。由Russell & George设计，Sarah & Sebastian的第一家墨尔本精品店以一种城市姿态回馈墨尔本的街道和城市。

Unearthly and seemingly metaphysical, this eerie cave takes us on a deep-sea odyssey, celebrating the power and beauty of our vast oceans. Designed by Russell & George, Sarah & Sebastian‘s first Melbourne boutique is an urban gesture and artwork that gives back to the streets and city of Melbourne.

This arresting design is indicative of the type of work Russell & George take pleasure in creating. Forming unique relationships with their clients and projects, their spaces go beyond the aesthetic to engage people fully in the site and social context. 

设计灵感来自Sarah & Sebastian的创意总监Sarah Gitteos在一个水下洞穴探险时的个人经历，激发了一种探索欲。墙壁和天花板上安装了起伏的洞穴式景观装置，营造出一种静谧的氛围。

由各种颜色和强度的全黑色材料组成的复杂背景，捕捉了大部分未被探索的海底景观。引用日本漫画作者Naoshi Arakawa的话“Even in the depths of the darkest oceans, some light always pierces through”——照明的使用受到控制，并直射在珠宝上。

A complex palette of all-black materials in varying sheens and intensity captures the spirit of the mostly unexplored world beneath the waves. Referencing a quote from Japanese manga creator Naoshi Arakawa – “Even in the depths of the darkest oceans, some light always pierces through” – the use of lighting is controlled and direct on the jewellery. 

室内的其余部分由三个简单的镜像形式组成，包括珠宝展示和销售点。隐蔽的咨询室用于私人珠宝讨论，确保陈列室不拥挤。

The rest of the interior is comprised of three simple mirrored forms housing jewellery displays and a point of sale that enhances the existing typology of the space. A hidden consultation room for private jewellery discussions ensures the impact of the showroom isn’t crowded.    

手工吹制的烟灰色玻璃带有变色灯泡，影射海底珊瑚礁，当商店关闭时，它们可以营造出丰富多彩的照明效果，从而增强了与海洋的联系。

Not just an ode to Sarah Gitteos’ holiday, the design also seeks to engage the social conscious of the customers. As Russell & George express “…through its use of biophilic design principles, [it] gently reminds the customer of larger issues to do with the fragility of our planet.”

Beyond the biophilic nature of the interior, they also have ensured that 98% of the store fit-out materials can be recycled for use in another life. An effortless feat that I hope will inspire designers and consumers alike to consider how we can prioritise sustainability.

Russell & George给了我一个令人信服的理由，让我摆脱了束缚，放弃了在线购物车，亲自体验IRL空间。

Playful and wondrous Russell & George have given me a convincing reason to get out of my pj’s and abandon that online cart to experience this space IRL for myself.
