Alfille Arquitectos: Vinos Chidos, a recently completed wine store in Mexico City, reimagines the retail experience for cool wines from around the world. Emphasizing curated selection and minimalist design, the compact space prioritizes customer exploration within a thoughtfully crafted environment.
The interior design utilizes charred wood wall panels, creating a warm and textured backdrop for the sleek, central counter. This juxtaposition sets the stage for a clean and uncluttered approach to wine display. Eschewing traditional rows of bottles, Vinos Chidos employs a raw metal display case. Each bottle rests individually, showcasing its single, impactful label. This focus on the essence of the wine allows customers to easily navigate the selection and discover their perfect choice.
A touch of Mexican heritage emerges on the opposite wall. Carved lava rocks serve as dramatic pedestals for specially curated wines. These volcanic elements introduce a textural counterpoint and spark conversation about the unique vintages they hold. Vinos Chidos transcends the typical retail space, offering a minimalist experience that celebrates thoughtful design, curated selection, and a subtle nod to Mexican culture.
