About Essilor:
Essilor India is a part of the global Essilor Group, known worldwide for it’s work in vision care and lens technology. Over the years, the brand focused not just improvising eyesight, but also on improving the overall experience of buying eyewear.
When Essilor team approached us for their first brand store project of Koramangala, the intent was clear- this was not just an optical store, it was planned as a luxury-format store that would set a benchmark in presentation, brand placement and overall customer experience and a critical time limit in hand to hand over the store.
As an execution partner, our responsibility was to translate the brief into a practical, well designed & smooth functioning retail space from first measurement to final handover in time.
The Idea behind the store:
The goal was simply to build a store that feels high-end but not intimidating. The vision was to showcase premium eyewear in a clean & organized way, feel open, bright & welcoming environment, allowing smooth movement for customers, provide dedicated spaces for eye testing/ fitting area for the customers as per Essilor’s guidelines in the given timelines.
Execution and Final Outcome:
Following cost finalization and approvals, the project transitioned seamlessly into production and on-site execution phase, driven by clearly defined milestone and strict timelines. Detailed working drawings and coordinated schedules ensured that material procurement, fabrication and installation progressed in alignment with the approved design.
Every stage of execution was closely supervised from civil work initiation (includes wall partitioning, ac installations, painting, glass fixing, lighting, outside facade) to fabrication and display installations in this semi turnkey project. Quality checks were conducted in every step of the project to maintain consistency of materials, detailing and workmanship.
The design achieved a sense of spaciousness and understand luxury with every element strategically positioned to highlight the brands with reinforcing Essilor’s strong industry presence and commitment to quality.
The store now stands as a premium optical retail space that feels modern, clean and comfortable. It offers a relaxed yet upscale eyewear shopping experience, strong brand presence, a bright, elegant and easy to navigate layout. More than just a retail outlet, the space has become a well- designed optical destination that reflects the client’s vision and our high standard fabrication experience.
