July's Flower
Shanghai, China
Alberto Caiola magnifies the beauty of flowers at July’s.
Part of an emerging new wave of contemporary florists, July’s Flower juxtaposes Shanghai’s innate and edgy counterculture with the time-honored traditions of horticulture and floral design. Smashing straight-laced stereotypes through striking arrangements and design, July’s challenges expectations at all levels.
The store’s interior incorporates a spectrum of materials, balancing brushed metal finishes with the natural textures of terrazzo flooring. Large expanses of horizontal and angled mirrors positioned on the store’s celling create the illusion of a much larger space. Amplifying the volume’s height, the effect appears to defy the laws of gravity. In stark contrast, exposed concrete beams reveal the building’s original structure.
Flowers are the store’s natural centrepiece. Displayed in clustered pots adjacent to large mirrored dishes, the result is a cornucopia of images, the blossoms reflected ad infinitum to intriguing effect. Navigating the space, visitors experience both a mingling and a movement of color and shape.
A designated showroom area presents a selection of flower-related products, as well as a curated selection of design pieces. Built on brilliance and transparency, the display quite literally glitters against the store’s raw concrete background.
It is not just the interior of July’s Flowers that seeks to disrupt the relationship between conventional and contemporary, but also its facade. In stark contrast with its traditional residential environs, a polished metallic finish draws attention, shifting according to the angle at which it’s viewed. At the same time, indoor mirrors seemingly push themselves out of the building, bouncing both natural and artificial light, all serving to create an enticing and inviting storefront.
Breaking barriers of tradition, expectations, and perception, July’s Flowers defines Shanghai in bloom.
