The Silpo supermarket chain always impresses with its thematic designs, and the new one styled after “Glassmaking and Glassblowing” is a striking confirmation of this. Located in Yavoriv, Lviv region, this store reflects the cultural context of the area, highlighting the craftsmanship and multifaceted history of this ancient craft, while also creating a unique shopping space.
The design concept aims to convey the atmosphere of the glassblowing process and the elegance of glass art by showcasing traditional colors, patterns, and physical properties. The entrance features a colorful stained glass window with a thematic composition that captivates visitors and invites them to immerse themselves in the world of glass art.
While engaging in routine activities, you can learn about the history of glassmaking, told through illustrations on the frieze that transition into physical objects, such as a futuristic glassblower shaping products. You can also explore the rich color combinations on the glass that adorns the columns.
A focal point of the space is the gastronomic island, adorned with a suspended acrylic installation whose dynamism is enhanced by a column with a pattern reminiscent of molten glass.
It’s hard not to notice the signs, whose warm light resembles molten glass, created with the Mak font developed by Ukrainian graphic designer Valentyn Tkachenko.
And, of course, the panel of colored glass bottles in the checkout area serves as a reminder of the importance of recycling.
This supermarket is not just a place to shop, it is a true exhibition of art. By the way, this store has been included in the list of the best European stores of 2024, according to European Supermarket Magazine.
