An Eye on Synergy

Posted by - January 10, 2014 - News, Project Profile

When The Factory was is its conceptual stages, founder Bo Snarski envisioned a creative space where synergy would thrive. In this recently completed renovation of Inspired Eyes Creative Eyewear in Kelowna, his vision is now a reality!

V6B Design Group and Claymasters joined forces in the renovation of the new retail location for Inspired Eyes Creative Eyewear located in Downtown Kelowna. Laura Cruse from V6B consulted on the concept and planning of the space, helping owner Lana Belvis create a chic space with a distinctly Versailles-inspired theme. From the Inspired Eyes’ colour palette, decorative ceiling treatment to its furniture placement, Laura created an inviting space with hints of luxury and loads of French charm.

Gerry Monty of Claymasters executed the atmosphere-setting clay wall. Made from non-toxic American Clay in “Capital Lake”, the unique feature wall offers a natural textured finish reminiscent of old French castles – the perfect complement to the space’s subtle glamour.
