Oaza Zdravlja Pharmacy by Karim Rashid
Karim Rashid has completed the interior design for the Oaza Zdravlja pharmacy in Belgrade, Serbia
From the designer:
The architectural forms and weight of this space reference the beautiful intricacies of the human body and healing process. Through the use of soft flowing walls and organic shapes a sense of comfort and security is immediately established. Framed by the sweeping curvature of the walls, a simple, yet powerful counter elegantly hovers above the ground plane. This form is symbolic of the journey medication takes through the body’s cellular framework. Beyond this emblematic expression, the organic counter is also the literal location that provides the medicinal means to recovery and relief.

Rather silly. Looks like a temporary trade show exhibit.

Very cyber interior design.maybe i’ll make the counter into a DJ’s mixing control desk in bar designs.

Interesting…….. but ultimately what is the point?
Is this design going to drive more business to a chemist?….. Probably not.
I guess some people have more money than sense.

I like that it’s wheel-chair friendly. Lots of steps are also really good for old people who visit the chemist often.
This must only be for hip city girls buying their birth control or plan B pills.

Wow, what a waste of time and money, really unbelievable.
It’s such a mess and soooo ugly that i can’t look at it.
I know it’s a drug store but i don’t want it look like it’s on drugs itself.
