“I would like to reinvent myself — it’s part of my job.” - Karl Lagerfield As the words spoken by Karl Lagerfield portray, I believe that design is not only about the outcome. I take designing as an opportunity to continually rediscover about myself and to expand my creative abilities to the fullest. Through this, I hope that I will be able to find the most suitable design channel to contribute with my skills and make the world a better place for nature and human beings to coexist; because the world is truly something that I am grateful for existing within it.

CHALLENGE The challenge of this project is to design a Guerlain Pop-Up Store for the Domestic Market at Tsuen Wan Plaza, a Department Store Mall in Hong Kong, and adapt the concept for the Travel Retail Market at Sun Plaza’s Beauty Event Pad.

PROJECT DURATION: 14 Weeks

SOLUTION Guerlain is intensely devoted to its DNA, greatly respecting their origins, even as they reinvent themselves over the years. The final design of the pop-up store is a reflection of revisiting the classic that Guerlain has stayed true to over the years with a contemporary twist. Inspired by Parisian Apartments and the idea of Interiority, the store was created to seamlessly connect the 3 axes of beauty and simultaneously create a unique perspective at every different angle.

CONCEPTUAL IMAGERY Revisiting the Classic designs for a Contemporary twist, Geometric elements of Art Deco and Framing were sought for, to create a Grand Atmosphere within a space.

INSPIRATION To represent Guerlain’s origins in our concept, we took inspiration from the Bee, which is Guerlain’s House Symbol, and identified the Hexagonal shape of the Honeycomb as an element to create Interiority.

TEAM PROJECT BY: Allison Yip Melvin Khng

Project Collaboration with

L’Oréal Scental Hong Kong

PROJECT DURATION: 14 Weeks


CHALLENGE The challenge of this project is to design a short-lived exhibition space (3 days) for L’Oréal Travel Retail in view of the Tax Free Worldwide Association Fair at Marina Bay Sands in 2016. The objective is to allow L’Oréal Travel Retail to present 18 different brands and receive clients within the space.

SOLUTION Travel Retail is the business taken by shops in areas dedicated to travellers. It is a journey that begins at the Airport, providing a unique shopping experience for the global shoppers, exposing them to a huge range of offerings. Taking the Travel Retail Experience at the airport as an inspiration, the final design brings in a sense of Indulgence to the exhibition space through a Majestic Environment and an Inviting Atmosphere that characterises the retail experience at the Airport.

STRUCTURAL INTERPLAY The concept involves the structural interplay of Facade Walls and Brand Showcase, in which the Brand Showcase is part of the structural frame connected to the Facade Walls. Fabric is pulled in tension between the structures to create a grand atrium in the exhibition area, creating an iconic arch visible from far.

18 BRANDS PANELS On the facade of the exhibition space, panels are placed on 2 opposite sides of the space to showcase the 18 brands from L’OrÊal Travel Retail.

BIG TV SCREENS On the facade of the exhibition space, there are also 6 TV screens placed on 2 opposite sides of the facade to allow video showcases of brands to the public.

BRAND SHOWCASE Here is a close-up of the Brand Showcase, each Brand has a visual panel and a product platform in which each brand can customise. Storage for the brand is located directly beneath the product platforms, where there are drawers.


CASUAL MEETING Clients can hold meetings at the casual meeting area if they would like to have close interactions with brand showcase and products while sitting.


CORRIDOR VISUALS Selected visuals may also be placed along the large facade walls and each wall may have an indicator that represents an area within the space for the clients to have easy reference.

INFORMAL MEETING AREA

EXIT TO CORRIDOR Clients can exit the atrium and make their way to the corridor where there are designated areas for informal meeting. The corridor outside of the atrium will create a semi-private environment and clients would be able to see the brands.


OVERVIEW Clients can get a general overview of the 18 brands at a glance from this perspective of the middle atrium of brand showcases. The arched roof creates a cosy yet inviting atmosphere that reflects the atmosphere at the airport.
