The Fixers
“The Fixers” is a chain store that expands in Attica area. A modern store and labοratory of technology with expert group of technicians who specialize in the repair and service of iPhone, smartphone, Laptop, MacBook, iMac, Tablet and PC. The following stores have been developed since 2016 in Syntagma square, Holargos and Kolonaki area.
The main principles of design and construction are the simplicity of forms, the geometrical and simple lines and the focus on creating smooth surfaces with materials like glass, metal and lacquered wood panels. Elements that make up a modern and friendly environment of high aesthetics that exudes confidence in order to allow the customer to feel the required comfort and safety to deliver its device for repair or to move to the purchase of new equipment and accessories.
Information
The stores are developed in 100sqm, are high-ceilinged spaces, with metal staircase to mezzanine and basement (storage room and extra laboratory room), in a minimalist concrete shell, whereas the concrete texture of walls indicates the scientific environment of the store.
The ultramodern lab with the transparent separation of a glass hanging wall allows a free view of the repair process and permits the visual contact between the specialized technicians and the customers. The glass construction is a dominant element in the architectural concept store, that emphasizes the immediacy and brings the customer closer to technology and to “The Fixers” philosophy.
Significant element of the architectural design is the lighting of the stores, which has been designed to highlight the products and guide the customer into the store. An ingenious lighting arrangement of both artificial and natural lighting is crucial to the aesthetics of the store and a way to establish its space. Window facades enable the diffusion of natural light into the store, suspended circular lighting fixtures frame the reception desk, linear fixtures indicate routes and bring out the products, while a big, rectangle, led panel lightens the “surgery” table in the lab, allowing the specialized technical staff to face directly and effectively the technical problems of the devices.
