Hofstede Optiek – Very Exciting Interior for an Optician’s Shop Posted: 05 Mar 2011 06:15 AM PST A glasses store a very interesting and experimental located in The Hague,  Netherlands and was designed by architect Alexander Nowotny. Architects managed to create very original atmosphere as if taken from the fantasy film. Architect Alexander Nowotny was predestined for the job of developing an unprecedented design by his "fresh approach".  According to Hofstede, since about 1997 the optician sector has undergone a metamorphosis to a retail trade that employs flair and atmosphere to sell. Alexander Nowotny says this is also a response to internet commerce: over-the-counter businesses must be able to do more today than sell products; that is to say, they must also take the haste out of buying and offer a good experience and entertainment. Going out to shop is no longer a vital necessity, but a leisure activity. The interior is designed all of a piece. It is a harmonious composition, a walk-in sculpture. The organically shaped interior exerts an attraction upon entering it and transports the customer gently through the room, as it were. Pleasant feelings and associations with the warmth and security of the interior of a body should be generated. All load-bearing walls and the ceilings are covered with facing elements. Hofstede shows frames without exception in display cases, also in the shop window. The products are presented as unique items, because the customers themselves, of course, would like to be unique and buy something unique. Most of the frames are locked away and taken out for the personal consultation with the customer. Self-service only applies to sunglasses. The customer should be served and be given the feeling that he or she is a "star". The shop serves as a stage. Photography by Raoul Suermondt
