The Olla stores chain was founded by a group of Brazilian and Israeli entrepreneurs and focuses on women’s lingerie. Ron Shenkin was asked to design a store which displayed a large quantity of items. Due to the fact that the sales process is accompanied by numerous fittings until the right item is found, Shenkin divided the store into two main spaces; two thirds was dedicated to displaying the items, and one third for a private fitting space, comprised of fitting booths, a large mirror and a coffee corner.

“One of the demands presented to me was to make a distinct separation between the different styles. It is out of this demand that the wood creatures came to be, each one giving a distinct flavor to each style. The store is designed in very clean cut manner, with restrained colors in order to give all the stage necessary for the colorful lingerie.” Ron Shenkin
