The Periscopic Play of Mirrors Directs Our Eyes

This black and white store, located in the iconic Bolhão market, is defined by the prominent T representing the brand. The studio combines a periscope mirror play with 45-degree display units to direct our gaze towards the deepest part of the store, where only upon entering can we see the large T.

There’s no second chance for a good first impression. 45-degree exhibitors face the clients coming in, a periscope trick allows at a first glance to capture the whole depth of the shop, the big “T” from the brand logo inserted with an anamorphic design is only perceptible when entering, at that exact and only time.
