PNEUMA FLAGSHIP STORE

Mağaza Tasarımı · İstanbul · 2026. A flagship perfume store for Parfumlab in Istanbul, built on the logic of the pneumatic tube: the hidden network that carries samples through hospitals, made into the visible system of the space. Retail Design, Istanbul. TUNK: İstanbul mimarlık, sergi tasarımı ve enstalasyon ofisi.

Perfume is made by circulating and combining substances, so the store is organised around circulation. A central unit runs the length of the narrow plan as display, counter and workshop table, clad in more than 600 stainless steel tiles treated like ceramic. Above it a metal pipe network climbs into the ceiling, carries a surgical light and divides the room into zones for the formulas; small motors send perfume bottles through the pipes, making the movement literal. On one wall the collection sits behind custom-cast blue frosted plexiglass; on the other, the pipes become hand-bent borosilicate glass held by laboratory clamps. Pipe bending, glass, plexiglass casting and tile cladding were each developed with Istanbul metal and glass workshops, from prototype to production.
