To talk about Rado is to talk about luxury watches and Swiss precision. Dating back to 1917, its watches represent a timeless commitment to quality, technology and design. Rado can look back on a rich history, having pioneered the use of materials such as high-tech ceramics and sapphire, thanks to which the brand is renowned for its mastery in the use of these materials.
This is probably why, when it came to planning its flagship shop in the Dubai Mall, the world’s largest shopping centre, the Rado team in charge of the architecture and design project chose Dekton as the material for the façade and wall cladding of all the shops to be renovated around the world. This project to renovate the brand’s most prestigious shop in the UAE is a key part of this global launch.
A warm colour combination
The façade of the shop and the interior walls (at the entrance) are clad in the elegant shade of Dekton Sasea. Inspired by Sahel limestone, Dekton Sasea features a cream-grey background full of details, yet soft and gentle, which has all the elegance of Sahel limestone and all the quality of the ultra-compact Dekton by Cosentino stone.
This colour scheme was chosen to complement the soft black elements and the shop’s taupe and bronze palette, creating a luxurious atmosphere that reflects the brand’s pioneering spirit.
Spacious and pleasant spaces
The shop design aims to enhance the exclusive pieces on display, while creating an atmosphere that reflects the high quality of the brand’s products with an enveloping sense of confidence that puts customers at ease for a 360-degree experience. In fact, the warm shades create a sense of calm that contributes to a pleasant shopping atmosphere.
The shop offers its customers a spacious and pleasant environment in which to enter and explore its watch collections, with an inviting design that creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, while at the same time conveying an exclusive sense of luxury and Swiss precision.
