PISTIS SHOWROOM, ACCRA, GHANA
The showroom is designed as a spatial expression of fashion—bold, expressive, and rooted in cultural identity. Moving between the two floors reveals a layered experience—one that shifts from vibrant cultural expression to a more composed and luxurious and tempered environment.
On the ground floor, the space is defined by a canopy of woven colored strings that reference the patterns and symbolism of Ghanaian kente cloth. Suspended above the display areas, these strands create movement and rhythm across the room, transforming the ceiling into an immersive installation. Pendant lights drop through the composition, casting a warm glow over the garments and mannequins below. Together with vibrant wall colors and carefully styled displays, the ground floor feels energetic and creative, reflecting the spirit of contemporary Ghanaian fashion.
