São Paulo, 2024 – The jewelry brand Galeria Andrea Colli in Jardim Europa has strategically transitioned from a shopping mall environment to a street store. The new space, designed by the VAGA Arquitetura office, reflects the depth and sophistication of the brand through targeted architectural interventions. Founded in 2016 by Andrea Colli and Viviane Ferreira, the brand defines its jewelry as extensions of the body, transcending mere aesthetics to offer a sensitive perspective. The architectural design of the new store authentically expresses the identity and values of Galeria Andrea Colli, displaying its jewelry in harmony with the architecture of the space. With targeted yet significant interventions, the architects completely redefined the atmosphere of the space. The most striking changes occurred in the exterior, where a new facade was covered with perforated steel panels painted in a vibrant yellow, creating a visual contrast with the urban surroundings.
