Dekorada is an especially designed, functionally and architecturally singled out retail space dedicated to one business line. Galeria Echo with its 5,000 sqm will have several dozen tenants offering products and services connected with finishing, furnishing and decorating interiors.
“We are addressing the expectations of our customers and we are offering them Dekorada – a place where they can find everything they need for finishing and furnishing interiors. The retail offer of Dekorada will be complemented by services of decorators and designers. We are creating something more than just a place where our clients receive a full offer, more importantly they will also find there specialist help that is necessary when finishing and decorating apartments, houses and offices,” says Marcin Materny, Shopping Centre Department Director at Echo Investment.
What makes the Dekorada project unique is first of all its specific spatial concept. The area adapted by the retail and service offer will be organized around the public space, thematically and functionally interwoven with one another. While having a cup of coffee or tea in the centrally located café, our clients will be able to familiarize themselves with catalogues of the Dekorada shops, meet designers, get a piece of advice from specialists, look at designs and decorators’ proposals with their friends and talk about décor of the house or office interior.
“Dekorada’s modern, fresh and consistent style is first of all to inspire and arouse interest but also to emphasize and expose the strong offer under one logo. Dekorada’s interiors create an impression of an open-plan department store connecting a varied offer of many tenants. The external fixtures are designed in a way that clearly marks the presence of Dekorada in Galeria Echo and spatially separates the whole offer. It is a completely new and different form of selling, thanks to which it will be possible not only to buy a product but also a full set of information, knowledge and advice connected with it,” says Antoni Konarski from the Broadway Malyan architectural studio, which is preparing the architectural concept of Dekorada.
