Bécane. Gallery wall on bone-white plaster.

  • Commerce
  • Light theme
  • 6 colors

Bécane operates as a gallery wall rather than a storefront: a vast off-white canvas where models stand at human scale, type sits at whisper-small sizes, and the only chromatic punctuation is a single cycling red signal. Every element is reduced to its barest line — borders under 1px, zero radius, uppercase tracked labels — so that the photography itself becomes the architecture. The system rejects decorative UI entirely; navigation, counts, and category markers read like gallery placards rather than e-commerce chrome.
