As a result of a geometric interpretation of Oscar Niemeyer’s building, a metallic biombo–made of natural aluminum profiles and reused galvanized steel sheets–duplicates the store’s curvilinear window shop and reveals its construction through straight segments. Two openings and a mirror break up its regular structure. This device, responsible for displaying objects and clothing, acts as a mediator between the exterior and interior–offering privacy for those changing clothes, as a large dressing room in one of the busiest corners of downtown São Paulo.

By the time it was completed in 1996, the urban landscape that surrounded it had changed. The structure has stood largely unused since, as a relic of hopeful modernity. While its design is singular in its narrative and expression, this structure illustrates the tension between aspiration and struggle throughout its complex history.
