With locally grown and organic food becoming more popular in the Czech Republic, EDIT! was asked to design a market stall for a new concept of Green Markets. Through a reconfiguration of the typical retailing method, the architects create a unique response to the importance of enabling a personal interaction between the farmers and market visitors. From this, the farmer can relate to the visitors through their produce, and the relationships formed may contribute to the character of the market as a whole. More images and architects’ description after the break.
Reconfiguration of the typical retailing method transforms the vendor — a person behind a counter — into a real assistant, an advisor who helps us to choose the best goods. This makes the business interaction into a more friendly exchange and due to this may even improve sales. A further requirement of the stall is a consideration of security, so it may be locked up while not in use and resistant to vandalism.
