Location
Friedtalweg 15, 9500 Wil, Switzerland
Year
1995
Client
Optik Dudli

Dudli optician’s store is well established in the city of Wil. This is not just because its owner maintains good relations with the residents of Wil – the shop itself is part of the old city wall. The extraordinary thickness of the outer walls is a testament to this, and the deep window recesses make perfect showcases for the shop’s wares. Behind it is a square room with slate floors and a restored Renaissance ceiling. A sweeping wooden furniture component divides the space into two areas – one for consultations with customers and one for examinations – while also serving as a display case for the glasses.
