INTERIOR - concept

Over the course of his career, from 1985 to the present, the designer Maurizio Peregalli has shown particular interest in the relationship between product and commercial space, between the question of sales and that of display and architectural design, whether permanent (the store) or temporary (stands and shows). Peregalli has united the design of the store with its construction, offering a "turnkey" product that right from the outset brings the creative process of design and care over detail into line with the feasibility of construction and an attentive control of the relationship between costs, overall image and completion time. It is not customary for an architect to provide a complete product, ranging from the design (which can sometimes include the logo and trademark of the sales outlet) to its construction, but this practice has allowed Peregalli to exercise direct control over the phases of construction of the commercial premises he has designed, trying out materials and techniques in close collaboration with highly skilled craftsmen and technicians. Thus the design and construction of the store serve as direct testimonies of his work. The high-quality sales outlets, designed and constructed by Maurizio Peregalli, located all over Europe, are characterized by a refined clarity of composition, a close link between interior designs and choice of materials and flexible grammar of display systems capable of adapting to the most irregular spaces. These stores are a demonstration of Maurizio Peregalli's unusual approach to design and realization, in which he takes care of all aspects, from drawing up the design to the actual construction, guaranteeing control over costs and times without ever forgetting the importance of the overall image, which is carefully studied, recognizable and elegantly repeatable in any urban setting.
