SHOWROOM CLARMA SA
Some spaces are built to display products. This one is built around light itself.
The Clarma Showroom in Lausanne spans three floors — each with its own atmosphere, each shaped by the same principle: every surface is a tool for light, not just a backdrop for it.
Exposed concrete forms the structural frame. Wood and stainless steel work alongside it — the steel catching light from the windows and dispersing it quietly through the rooms. It responds to every shift in weather, every change in lighting scenario, every person moving through the space. The interior is never quite the same twice.
Curtains bring softness to the strict geometry. In the Reunion Area, they wrap the space into something closer to a cocoon — a sense of separation from the main floor without walls or barriers.
On the ground level, a wide amphitheater staircase leads visitors from the showroom upward — through workspaces and meeting rooms designed for collaborative work, to a semi-private third floor that closes the sequence.
Every material — glass, plastic, wood, steel — was chosen for the way it interacts with light. Reflecting it, refracting it, transmitting it.
