Ampère Optique | cyrille druart

In 2012, Thomas Dupré, succeeding from a long line of French opticians, decided to create his optical shop in Grenoble, France, and called on designer Cyrille Druart to come up with an original concept. “Our intent was to start with a clean slate, rethink the very idea of an optical shop that might seem too moulded and constantly more of the same. We had to figure out how to offer a new experience. We decided to work on both the interior and exterior design simultaneously, in order to shape a plunging perspective visible from the street, and catch the attention of passers-by. The interior uses a fluid formal language, and gives the visitor a step-by-step itinerary through products, paced by dynamic-shaped furniture throughout.” - Cyrille Druart
