CRAFT Design

In the heart of Soho, this boutique meat shop channels the swagger of Buenos Aires' old butcher shops—premium quality, personal service and a cocky attitude. We designed a space as confident—and unapologetic—as an Argentinean butcher: warm woods, rich textures, sharp details, and just enough edge to make you look twice.

The Challenge

Finding the sweet spot between rustic Argentinean charm and high-end retail—especially when half the shop needed to be refrigeration. We had to integrate a serious number of industrial fridges without losing the warmth, character, or sense of craftsmanship. The challenge was making it feel curated, not cold—and premium without being intimidating. We wanted people to feel welcome to pop in, browse, and connect. Bold materials, tailored lighting, and smart detailing helped us strike that balance—honest luxury with an open-door attitude.

What We Loved

Raw authenticity and refined details. From the precision stitching on the leather counter panels to the deep walnut shelving and the dramatic black marble finishes, we loved playing with contrasts—premium, but rustic. It’s a shop you’d stop by on a casual rainy day… and walk out with a world-class cut of beef.

Secret Detail

The spiral staircase leads you up to a private tasting room—a hidden gem for serious meat lovers. Think boardroom meets speakeasy meets argentinean mountain lodge, surrounded by glass chillers full of prime cuts and fine wines. A little-known feature that elevates the entire customer experience.
