Once again Camper has counted on a prestigious architecture studio for the design of one of their shops. In this case for a shop in Madrid which has followed the concept "shoes that walk freely through the air" by Nendo.

After the plenty of Camper's shops around all the world, as the ones in Osaka, Paris, San Francisco, New York or Mosco, Nendo designs a new headquarters in Madrid. A simply and elegant design which attempts to create a tridimensional pattern into the walls, through the repetition of one of the most famous Camper shoes, made in resin and placed on all the walls. A white scene where the products can be the main focus.

A new concept for Camper’s larger shops, following on our concept of ‘shoes that walk freely through the air’ developed for Camper’s small-scale shops in cities like Osaka, Paris, San Francisco and Moscow.  The design concept for the large shops had faced a consistent challenge: in a high-ceilinged space, to use the upper part of a space with high ceilings. Our new approach was to make white resin models of the Pelotas shoe, a Camper stalwart, then to fully decorate walls with them, adding volume to the space as well as the orderly atmosphere of a storeroom. The shoes catch light pouring through the windows to cast shadows on the walls, giving the space a three-dimensional texture. We’ve created a shop interior with two types of shoes: products and interior materials.
