Burdifilek evokes Canadian winters at Toronto outerwear store Moose Knuckles
A display rack for winter coats is covered in fur and suspended from leather straps inside this Toronto store, designed by local studio Burdifilek.
The flagship for Canadian jacket brand Moose Knuckles features dimly lit interiors intended to evoke winter's frigid darkness.
Burdifilek selected black walls, hot-rolled steel and pale tile floors create a minimal feel inside the shop, which is interspersed with rounded dark volumes, glass and mirrors.
The focal point is an oval-shaped rack that hangs from the ceiling on black leather straps. The frame is wrapped in brown fur, concealing the section where hangers hook on to.
Dozens of fluffy-hooded parkas are displayed on the rack, above rustic tile floors.
"The end-cut black locust block flooring [was] inspired by the Prada Foundation in Milan," said Burdifilek.
A curved form that disguises the cash register was derived from the shape of the Moose Knuckles logo.
At the front of the store is a circular fitting room, where shoppers can catch glimpses of customers trying on items.
Another unexpected element is the full-height glass wall at the rear, which allows to peer into the stockroom.
"Reflecting the brand's risqu茅 and unapologetic attitude, the store subverts the traditional conventions of retail design, rethinking key elements such as the store's sightlines, its displays, and its stock and fitting rooms," said a project description from the studio.
