This design piece is on the left as soon as you walk into the shop. According to the man showing us around the shop, people in general tend to automatically turn left upon entering a store, and they built on that idea by having this large display on the left wall. Up above it are screens showing video footage from some of the cameras. The item on the display pillar in the center is changed out every so often to highlight a different product.
The meat-slicer in the background is based on a vintage piece design that is fully functional and practical, making it aesthetically and practically appealing. Also notice the details such as the garlic cloves hanging from the wall. In addition, there was a skylight above this area (where the cash register and such were placed), providing some natural lighting.
Again, notice the details - this time in the ceiling panels. I'm guessing those slots were for A.C. and ventilation.
So cool! This was the main "butcher's area," with glass walls and doors. There were three or four of those solid wooden blocks. Apparently they are made of a particular type of maple (or perhaps oak - not sure) that has a natural antiseptic. The stone wall behind the counter is from the original architecture of the place.
A view from near the front of the shop. Notice the floor tiling - actually one piece of marble/granite (not sure what the material was exactly) broken up into little tiles and pieced together again with grout. And the veins from the stone lead you right into the shop. Oh, and another thing: the displays had glass, metal, and mirrored doors/backing/shelving, and they were all practically spotless.
Oh, and the door handles? Sausage links. Yeah.
