A jewellery boutique uses round and fluid walls as functional elements to imitate nature inside. 

Named ZAURA, the 149-square-metre boutique was designed by Ahmedabad-based architecture office R+R Architects to propose a stunning interior design with nature-inspired elements.

The store, located on a single floor in Ahmedabad, India, allow customers to navigate seamlessly themselves with a lounge area and show area divided within the store. 

R+R Architects designed a shop that emphasizes fluid movement and exploration. The shop is surrounded by rock-like walls with rounded ends. The walls are made of travertine finish wall textures and rocks made of fiber-reinforced plastic. 

The rooms of the shop are connected in an open layout, creating a spacious experience. The studio takes inspiration for the interior architecture from stones and caves, adopting a minimalist approach. 

Sculpted and fluid walls with a strategic lighting are used to create a space that feels uncluttered and organic. The walls are covered with a bespoke texture that resembles travertine stone. 

"The display elements in the boutique are inspired by raw rock formations and are custom-made from metal, fiberglass, and glass," said the studio. 

"To break up the textures, the lounge area features soft carpets, plush upholstery, and a mirror with rock details attached. Every aspect of the boutique, from the plinths to the furniture and décor, was designed and executed in-house."

The bathroom in the store combines natural shapes, intricate stone, and soft lighting to enhance the materials and maintain the store's overall organic atmosphere.

According to the office, the goal of the project "was to design an interior that exceeds mere display purposes, instead, guiding customers on an immersive and ongoing experience."
