A new Lindeza Jewelry store has opened at City Walk in Dubai. Designed by architect Elena Lokastova, the interior reflects the brand’s philosophy, rooted in the energy of natural minerals. The design draws on the pure geometry of a crystal.

Within the 74.7 m² space, six sculptural columns structure the interior. Each is formed by two converging planes, resembling fragments of a giant mineral.
“To reinforce this effect and create the impression that the columns grow out of the space, the ceiling was mirrored. Their reflections extend the vertical lines upward, visually stretching the interior and softening the boundaries of the compact room. As a result, the structures appear as monumental four sided forms reminiscent of elongated octahedrons,” says Elena Lokastova.
Eucalyptus veneer was selected as the primary material for the architectural structures and custom furniture — a decision influenced by local manufacturing capabilities. The aim was to preserve the glossy finish and tactile quality of the panels while pairing them with a pink epoxy floor.
The central feature of the interior is a monumental display structure composed of two perpendicular triangular prisms. Its dynamic geometry references tetrahedrite, a mineral whose crystalline structure is formed by intersecting triangles. A second display unit, also based on intersecting triangular volumes, continues this mineralogical theme, turning the jewellery display into part of a unified spatial composition.
The interior ultimately becomes an immersive environment. Stepping inside, visitors find themselves within a crystalline landscape — a space where the energy of natural minerals embodied in the jewellery takes architectural form.
