Expanded Metal Displays Are Fascinating Fans Of Beautiful Shoes

An innovative shoe shop has been designed as a pilot concept by the polish architect Seweryn Nogalski from the

architect’s office Pentagram in the Wileńska emporium where white shelves made from rolled aluminium sheetssecured on MEVACO expanded metal walls ideally present shoes to eager shoppers.

“This design offers the ideal background for displaying shoes”, explains SewerynNogalski. “Expanded metal is an excellent material for this purpose, as it is easy to installyet remains very flexible in this connection. In spite of its inherent strength, it can be usedfor the widest range of applications. It can be painted, exposed to corrosion, welded oreven screwed on – any idea is feasible.” Using the LED spotlights, the shop can also be litup like in a theatre. The light reflections, which arise on the expanded metal, redirect thecustomer’s attention to the shoes. Seweryn Nogalski used two types of MEVACOexpanded metal in this shoe shop in the Wileńska emporium, namely rhomb 62x25x9 withbridge thickness 2.0 mm as well as rhomb 200x80x33 with bridge thickness 3.0 mm bothwithout surface treatment and in the material aluminium.

The polish architect frequently works with MEVACO expanded metals. “We also used thematerial in the Big Star shops, for example in Berlin, which were also designed byPentagram”, says Seweryn Nogalski. “The cooperation with MEVACO also workedexcellently there.”
