Although retail spatial proposition has numerous possibilities, they share a common characteristic - the offer of a dynamic and unsurpassed shopping experience for consumers to trigger their consumption impulse so as to expand business opportunities. This is the essence of shop design. Shopping is a unique personal sensation to satisfy desires; however, since consumers have varying favours, how can a single store with the same commodity satisfy the spectrum of needs from different individuals? A shopping spree environment is created in respond to these needs. Through the 30 shop designs in this edition, we attempt to illustrate the “catalyst” provoked by designers to trigger consumption impulse; how brand images are strengthened through enriched shopping sensations. Amongst these 30 projects, we include a versatile and diversified selection of shops which range from a 20-sq-m compact store to a large department store of multiple levels. Designed by HMKM, Daslu in Sao Paulo, Brazil is an excellent example; no matter in its product nature or retail format, it is a unique store in every respect. Being one of the most extravagant department stores in the global market, it sells branded luxurious automobiles and helicopters. However, retail space for these luxurious commodities does not necessarily be glamorous or magnificent; it can also be simple and basic to emphasize spatial comfort. An inclusion of extravagance is still needed though for a unique experience, therefore a bar area lined with books and installed with state-of-the-art audio system has become the spatial focus of the entire space. In terms of spatial treatment, Bizarre is a one of a kind configuration. Inspired by paper folding and cutting arts, Randy Brown Architects of America created a folded and curved space in white adding delicacy to the products. Can the space really trigger consumers’ consumption impulse? Although no concrete statistics are available, it has undoubtedly aroused public interest and attracted consistent traffic to the store to look at the design. Consumers can feel dynamic spatial quality the minute they step into a store; however, breakthrough in displays cannot be easily identified. The Stash handbag store designed by Maurice Mentjens in Holland offers an innovative magnetic system. The designer sees that handbags are “hung” when they are worn, therefore they should not be “perched” on shelves, thus a dynamic display format of utilizing magnets to stick the bags on steel plates were initiated. Designed by EDGE Design Institute Ltd., Samuel Kung Jewelry Shop in Hong Kong adopted the Penrose pattern to construct lattice screens that form the showcases for the fine jewellery. The lattice installation also creates a gallery like retail space making the products and the shop itself part of the display exhibit.

This 4,645-sq-m store combines innovative and interactive interior design with an extensive collection of top international fashion, home and lifestyle brands. Geared towards a younger clientele, the space has been transformed into a dynamic showcase spirited and edgy. It is graphically strong, with hard edges and a lot of energy. In an age where shopping experiences are taking place online, technology has been placed at the forefront of design. The i-Bar, a long sculptured counter, is the “hub� of the store. Customers gather here to inquire about in store services, check email and browse alternative and niche magazines from around the world. The CD-Bar features i-pod sound stations and a BOSE sound system with 12 separate music zones that host live DJ sessions on weekends. With

an exposed high ceiling and hard reflective polished stainless steel, the CD-Bar’s custom sliding panel surrounds an internally lit frosted curved counter. This area celebrates the youth and energy that encompasses the design of the store. Across from the CD-Bar and throughout the store, customers find their viewing experiences transformed with the Hi-tech Conveyer Belt used to display merchandise. The Conveyer belt rests on a track made of steel with a modified hanger that rotates to bring constant “newness”. This serves as a unique storage system that is able to display more in stock merchandise, allowing for less “back of house” storage. Besides, Motion Graphics are used to create interactive spaces between the public and their retail experience. This form of time-based visual art plays an important role by acknowledging the public’s presence in the retail environment. Behavioral technology responds to customers by projecting images on glass panel screens that morph and change. Within the contemporary section, the projections occur on a glass surface with a grid-pattern of white dots.

Yabu Pushelberg also created a space where culture, ideas and art can take place. Surprising design features combine light movements and illusions to conjure an atmosphere charged with energy and theatre. Store walls made of various materials transform the ordinary into art. Some are used to project stunning graphics; others are decorated with charcoal, while others are made from resin blocks or painted in vibrant pink, yellow, green or orange. Fitting rooms are enhanced with brightly coloured custom-made wallpaper and feature vividly toned pebble-like carpet. Mirror-finished stainless steel contrasts with matte plaster or hand-painted surfaces. With every turn, there is something different and unique, yet it all works well together.

The Home Department gives off an art gallery feel with the artistic synthetic strips that “peel” away from the wall creating a threedimensional display of merchandise. Opposite is a wall with floating shelves followed by another with ceramic discs. As you turn the corner, the home section is transformed once again with the use of strong colour, which changes with every season. A glass staircase is situated in the middle of the cosmetic area and acts as the focal point of the space. On the second level, the Women’s Designer Collections feature branchlike metal screens designed by artist Hirotoshi Sawada and set on tracks so they can be moved to create different spaces. The centre of this floor is the Jewelry Area displaying back-lit walls made of fiberglass to resemble charred wood. Suspending showcases highlight an array of fine international jewelry lines. Custom acrylic circle patterned screens are made with cut cylindrical tubes defining this glamorous space. Every aspect of the store design links together to form a whole. Yabu Pushelberg’s goal is to create a shopping experience that is not only enjoyable and entertaining, but an inspired, fun-filled adventure.

Having nestled among the spectacular office towers and hotels in the financial district for twenty years, Chanel Hong Kong is dramatically transformed by New York architect Peter Marino. A five-storey LED facade rises above two new boutiques in a daring statement of intent for the Asia Pacific region. “The iconic Chanel No. 5 perfume box - perfect proportions with a thin black line - was the idea for the facade,” Marino explains. “We added the elements of transparency and light with white luminous glass that will change as often as fashion does, therefore making it the ultimate fashion store.” The original building cladding has been replaced by a curtain wall of glass panels which cover 210,000 individual computer-controlled light-emitting diodes (LED’s). The LED system, which has been conceived in New York and California, is run on specially-programmed software. The facade screen now has the capacity to

Located in Omaha, this lingerie boutique provided the perfect opportunity for the US architectural firm Randy Brown Architects to challenge the typical retail store convention where the walls, fixtures, ceilings and floors are all separate elements. It also provided a chance to test processes of blending these elements to generate space where the store itself becomes the podium to display the merchandise as art objects. The interior space is developed from experiments with the folding and cutting of a piece of paper, thus simplifying the design language. This continuous surface bends and folds to display merchandise and conceal the mechanical, electrical and structural systems while creating a form that conjures up origami and a visually pure backdrop for a memorable shopping experience. The space plan accentuates the long narrow bay by separating the store into an open space and an enclosed space. The open space has a series of pods which are equally distributed for the display of different merchandise. The custom shelving system was designed to

The white space creates a museum like quality and with a large part of the budget spent on lighting, the merchandise are presented in the best and most enticing way. The magic comes from the lightness and transparency of the design, which creates the illusion of merchandise floating in the completely white space. The enclosed space houses the check-out desk, restrooms and a stair leading to a mezzanine above. This project allowed the architects to use a conceptual design methodology for the exploration space and light.

Located on the prominent corner of Fifth Avenue and Fifty-third Street, this provocative creation is a study in contrasts. The client, Blanc De Chine, known for their updated interpretations of traditional Chinese apparel, specifically requested a contemporary setting; one that alluded to established Chinese motifs and forms, but also reflected their progressive vision. The concept pushes beyond clichĂŠ imagery such as red lacquer or gold. Instead, the space references the dichotomy of the modern versus the traditional sensibility inherent in the clothing by the use of hard metallic elements set against rougher, natural objects. It is these natural items that also reflect a
traditional Chinese reverence for nature featuring deep brown variegated wood flooring, walnut plinths with a beautiful natural edge, and ebonized rift oak cabinetry. The exterior centres on a large, expansive window which due to its great dimension, opens the store to the street and invites the customer within. This crisp, stark assemblage of steel and glass is provided textural relief by a single column and door of warm natural ipe wood. Behind this careful composition, a sculptural spiral stair, nestled among an expansive bed of grey palm seeds, ascends a dramatic three-storied atrium. The space melds traditional iconography with modern technologies culminating in a series of vacuum-formed acrylic screens. This innovative technique uses the traditional Chinese element of bamboo in a fresh, creative way and results in a unique ethereal image of the material.

The department store is composed of La Vita and Sport City selling causal wear and sportswear respectively. It is situated in Zhong Guancun, Haidian district where universities, research laboratories and technology-oriented companies set up their bases. This implies that a very distinctive consumer market is formed here and also that the potential customers would accept new and vogue goods. Therefore, the designer has explored to develop a unique shopping environment. Moreover, the mall is located in a two-level basement without a significant ground floor access. This became one of the challenges the designer encountered; how to create access that attracts people to go down, and also how to generate efficient circulation within the expansive underground floors leading to the holistic spatial layout. The existing escalators were removed and rebuilt in another direction to forward the circulation flow. On the other hand, a feature spiral staircase is built to link the two basements and forms a focal point that helps customers to orientate themselves in this huge bazaar. The Sport City combines a wider range of sportswear brand names under one roof to provide a one-stop-shopping experience to

On the other hand, a feature spiral staircase is built to link the two basements and forms a focal point that helps customers to orientate themselves in this huge bazaar. The Sport City combines a wider range of sportswear brand names under one roof to provide a one-stop-shopping experience to

customers. Different from traditional department stores, it has a young and energetic appearance to set the trend while an open ceiling gives off a causal atmosphere. PVC flooring with colourful strips make the space dynamic and also add visual interests to the otherwise confined underground environment. A multi-function area containing a stage and a small-scale basketball court allows ad-hoc events to be held. It is believed that these activities can act as a magnet to attract young people to hang around in the mall. La Vita has a gypsum board ceiling featuring “craters” of different sizes which form the accents in the bright and clean space. The floral pattern on the wall helps to manipulate the scale while varied flooring like wood and tiles are applied to define different zones. In addition, there is a clubhouse that includes a function hall where shoppers are offered free coffee - a sip for the taste of life. The transition from Sport City to La Vita is designed as a tunnel with colour changes in LED inground illumination. Besides, as there are more than 400 shops selling different brands, it would have caused a busy elevation if the designer over plays the graphics. Hence, custom designed signage in neutral tones creates a more “play down” backdrop achieving a consistent image throughout the store. “We believe that designing a department store like this kind is to create a visual drama that tie in the operator’s needs rather than to fulfill the designer’s ego,” concluded Sky So, director of DPWT.

When Pacific Sunwear asked Gensler to reinvent their store design in Galleria at Tyler, they wanted to firmly establish themselves as the premiere retailer of world-class surf and skate apparel and accessory brands. In addition, they wanted to create an immersive retail experience via a flexible kit-of-parts that could be utilized in ground-up concepts, as well as adaptive to multiple renovation scenarios for over 800 existing stores. To help achieving their goal, the design team balanced programmatic functionality and flexibility with a meaningful and unique design aesthetic and customer shopping experience. In addition to interior design and product zoning, a myriad of custom product and lifestyle story-telling fixtures, materials, finish package and marketing materials were also included in the holistic store design. Beginning with one of the most distinctive aspects of the store’s design, the design team created an eyecatching, iconic storefront - an inverted Koa Wood half-pipe entry that invokes the board sport focus of the merchandise.

Ginza is the commercial heart of Tokyo, and of Japan. It is also the byword for luxury and class. In the midst of flagship stores of global luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Prada, Dior... there is Uniqlo - Japan’s most famous casual clothing brand. These buildings function essentially as walk-in advertisements. They conjure desirable images to wrap around their products, aiming to seize attention and admiration, which may eventually lead to sales. These brand images are largely communicated through the facades which have heavy resemblance of video screens. For instance, the Chanel store uses a facade composed of hundreds of thousands of LEDs - a high-resolution building-sized screen.

Uniqlo usually sells at warehouse outlets in functional shed-like spaces in the suburbs, but Ginza demands a warmer, more differentiated treatment. Each floor displays different products for distinctively targeted markets, and is distinguished by colour - from gallery-white on the entry level for sharp promotions and campaigns, through magnolia and cinnamon, to deep chocolate at casual menswear. A flexible, modular display and rack system is devised comprising a “pergola” element and stackable “low tables”. These bring a sense of domestic scale and comfort to the Ginza glitz.
Uniqlo is an exception to the high end brands in Ginza - it provides basic clothing at reasonable prices. So in contrast to the sleekness of the other facades, its design approach is simple and basic. If facades are multiple screens, Uniqlo’s facade is a pixilated “electro-retro” version. It is made up of a matrix of one thousand illuminated cells which can be individually controlled to produce chunky Tetris-style patterns on the facade. A mirror-finish stainless steel grid placed over this screen has the effect of breaking up and blurring off its sharp edges. The four-square Uniqlo logo shines through all, lit up with a bright LED array. Luxury yet revealed at low-resolution.

The very first store of Timberland Boot Company (TBC) in the world is located in the Grade II listed building at 1 Fournier Street, Spitalfields, London, trading under the facade of “David Kira Banana and Tomato Salesman”, who previously occupied the building. TBC is very serious about its values and history. Therefore, UK-based creation team Checkland Kindleysides (CK) has taken on board these principles, which bring together the best tradition of mass manufacturing with their ideals of craftsmanship and wraps this up with their culture of community responsibility in creating a new type of “trading space”. CK has adopted a “Place Based” approach which seeks to engage in a positive and sustainable way with the communities and surroundings while at the same time providing an effective base through which to trade. The aim is to identify the “spirit” of the place so the concept for the new trading space evolves out of its context, and expresses the company’s desire to “belong” to its locality.

This provided one of the key display concepts boots are displayed in clusters hung from the ceiling resembling bunches of bananas as they grow on the plant. Steel box rolling racks unearthed from the basement have been given a new purpose as display tables and cardboard banana boxes stacked on specially designed racking, creating a stockholding wall at the rear of the store. It has been about being inventive, physically building as little as possible, and developing inexpensive but effective solutions by recycling, regenerating and re-purposing, reflecting the brand’s insistence that an environmentally efficient solution to the store concept is vital. Besides, the retail space is used to hold community-based events and display arts projects in order to forge connections with the neighbourhood. The store has been successful in achieving the best result for the “Place Based� approach which provides a unique and iconic look for the brand, and in relation to the chosen environment.

Shapes and materials coming from industry play the ready-made game: once implemented in the architecture, they are transformed into well thoughts yet at the same time rather raw objects. The floor is typified by a modest material, asphalt, an implied reference to transparency of the shop on the street. The lighting fixtures, of all kinds and pleasantly designed, do exist as an alternative to ordinary, undifferentiated and harsh commercial lighting.

The design concept of the men’s wear boutique GRAFIC is to create an assemblage of discrete objects activated and linked by movement. The space was conceived as a pristine, “mute” container enclosing four discrete forms whose shape is determined by function, composed to engender spatial tension and to amplify one’s sense of viewing and movement. These objects/forms not only animate space, but serve to enclose it as well. Upon entry, the entrance “tube” defines the cash area and initiates the processional sequence. Aligned to form an extrusion of the storefront glazing, the stainless steel-clad “tube” with its lowered ceiling and depth generates an aperture-like effect that frames one’s view of the boutique from the street. A cylindrical cash desk also clad in stainless steel is a figurative element within the “stage” and is intended to engage one’s gaze and movement deep into the boutique. Constructed of walnut veneer and extending the length of the space, the Display Wall is essentially a back-to-back store fixture system with storage above. Placed off centre, it

creates two distinct spatial experiences - the first responding to the client’s desire for a voluminous space for casual wear and a second narrower, intimately-scaled space for exclusive brands. Rather than locating the racks against the enclosing walls in a more conventional manner, the strategy of consolidating the merchandise into a single vertical element not only permits the division of space but also allows the enclosing walls to be clear and unadorned, underscoring the concept of a “mute” container. The custom-designed fixture system is flexible and can be easily reconfigured. By maximizing the available height of the space, the extraordinary presence of the wall was achieved by locating storage above the display fixtures thereby effectively reducing the size of the storage room and fortuitously increasing the retail area. The Fitting rooms and a Lounge that appears to hover are enclosed within a rectangular “vessel” that penetrates the Display Wall. A sheet of chromogenic glass physically and visually defines the Fitting Rooms from the Lounge and transforms according to use; clear when the doors are open, opaque when closed for privacy. Providing a moment of surprise, the Lounge visually expands when the glass is transparent, and when opaque, the glass wall also functions as a screen for projecting images and video.

Stash sells modern bags. Most shops display bags perched on a shelf but bags do not “perch” when they are worn; they hang. For this reason, Maurice Mentjens wanted a hanging display for the bags in Stash. The idea was quickly conceived to work with magnets with which the bags could be “stuck” to steel plates. Customers can then remove each bag from the wall to look at it and then put it back in place. In this way, optimum use can be made to the entire wall surface of the fairly limited space for the presentation of bags. In the middle of the shop are two steel coves suspended from the ceiling with pedestals underneath. This not only increases the display area, but also strengthens the architectural element of the shop by creating two passages where a large mirror wall is installed at the end, making the shop appear much larger and wider. The cove and pedestal theme can also be seen in the shop window with a smaller space in between. This adds more intrigue, as it segregates the shop window from the shop itself and also hides the view of the counter (which has its back facing the window) from outside the shop. The red coating on the walls and ceiling makes the shop very appealing to passers-by. Moreover, this colour perfectly complements the often bright colours of the trendy bags sold here. The floor, counter and pedestals fit in seamlessly due to their grey PU coating. The rounded joints between the ceiling, walls and coves give the interior an appearance as if having been pressed out of an extrusion mould. Lastly, above the counter are storage cupboards hidden behind the red steel plates.

“Ngong Ping 360� is a brand-new tourist project in Hong Kong composed of several scenic spots. Located in the themed village, Ngong Ping Tea House is infused with Chinese culture. The architecture in Tang Dynasty style is comprised of a hexagonal and a rectangular structure of two storeys. The entire design is referenced to Tang Dynasty patterns extracted and applied in the designs of window lattice, lighting fixtures and wall etching. A waterfall feature with subtle two-level cascades is set at the entry exuding a mood of Japanese Zen. Angular rocks can be seen in the pool constructed by sandstones. Waterproof lamps refract clear ripples while quiet bickers provide leisurable background music for the Tea House, making people feel free and easy. The hexagonal structure is an independent space in terms of architectural planning with distinctive atmosphere from the main building. The hexagonal space on the ground floor is used for retail outlet, while on the first floor it accommodates an elegant and tranquil VIP tearoom.

Tea ceremony demonstration area is also located on the ground floor. Customers may taste various teas in a comfortable environment before making their decisions. The back wall is created as the Chinese chemist’s cabinet and looks outstanding in high gloss red epoxy spray. Four Chinese characters in calligraphy and gold foil celebrate the sophistication of tasting Chinese tea. Overseas consultants are committed to seek unique materials, for example, the long table is made of solid rosewood; coordinated with wooden chairs, the texture of wood is accentuated. The backrests of chairs are designed low intentionally expanding the entire space. Ming Dynasty style and wedge-in technique are adopted. Also stainless steel planes are inserted in the backrests to give off a contemporary appearance. Since client expects more than just vending tealeaves in this space, an educational exhibition centre is then established on the first floor. Here tourists can receive information regarding tea and play interactive games as an occasion to experience local tea culture of Hong Kong. Exhibition themes will be changed regularly to maintain the freshness of the space. Oval Design Ltd. is in charge of the exhibition content, display modes and product packaging design in addition to the interior decor. Graphic design on packaging echoes and integrates with the exhibition on the first floor. The ground and first floor owns their unique features but meanwhile share a uniform atmosphere. It is the client’s desire to establish a favorable identity and enhance the market position through this project.

Different from a conventional sanitary ware showroom which n o r m a l l y h a s c h ro m e a n d sterilized surroundings, this flagship store created by Hong Kong-based Marc & Chantal Design has an engaging, multifunctional and customer-focused environment. The store occupies a prime, street-level frontage with floor-toceiling glass windows inviting plenty of natural light and visibility. The space is apportioned between contract clients such as developers and architects who want to source co-ordinated selection of products for building developments, and direct retail customers looking for upgrades in their bathrooms at home. A bathroom is perceived as the wellness centre of the house where a person is by oneself with no interaction or interruption from others. Therefore, the design highlights this aspect of privacy and tranquility. With p ro d u c t m e s s a g e i n v i s i b l y blends trend-setting design with technology and functional reliability, it is important for the space to embrace all these qualities in the design.

Through the design of this showroom, Pavlik strengthens the brand identity and establishes a luxurious environment which reflects the quality of the Neorest series including high-end-luxury toilet, which represents the next generation in bathroom opulence and hygiene. The design is elegant and minimalist, complementing the sleek, modern, and revolutionary design of the toilets. The bubble-like projecting glass show-window and platform boldly highlight the products, forming an attractive shop front while the curved and sweeping shape of the ceiling invites customers into the showroom. The gentle curve of the focal wall showcases the interactive toilets and the sleek finish of the textured wave-wall gracefully extend up into the ceiling, displaying product accessories within a dramatic stage-like setting. The creative theatrical lighting design reveals the products in a dark, yet dynamic space. Distinctive blue accent lighting emphasizes the fluid design and compliments the nature of the products. A combined use of unique and original materials is used to accentuate the modern style and sophistication of the design. Besides, plasma screens are strategically located throughout to introduce and educate customers about TOTO products and features.

With a history of 17 years, Sun Hing World stands in the midst of many industrial materials shops. Lacking commercial buildings in the neighbourhood, the building had once been the landmark of this district. The showroom is revamped to cater for the transformation of retail business, but the brand name is kept unchanged to retain patron customers and maintain its historical value and landmark feature. On the other hand, the newly constructed modern malls and office buildings nearby are attractive to young consumers. Therefore, refreshing and vivid elements are combined in the new design to draw in young clienteles. Environmentally friendly is always the focus in production and management of the company, thus green is used as the corporate colour as well as the main palette of interior design recurring in the entire four-floor shop (including basement).

Upon entry from the front door on ground level, the black marble flooring directs customer’s views to the large poster at the end. The figures on the posters reveal the targeted customer as executives and SOHOs, which make it easier to find out if the furniture matches your style and taste, meanwhile, they infuse an appropriate atmosphere and also functions as a democratize tool. The walls are covered with grey mirrors; complemented with small and soft lighting, the layers of space is enhanced with a sense of upscale and mystery. It also works well with the black marble flooring. The designer inserts a mezzanine floor within the 5.5m ceiling height. Household office workstations are displayed in this level where beautiful colours accentuate the space, and the happy faces on the posters create a relaxing and pleasant ambience. In addition, the seamless wooden floor makes customers feel like delightfully at home. Office furniture such as executive chairs and conference tables are showcased on the second floor. Dark green sets up the solemn key tone incorporated with commercial carpet and dimmed hue and lighting. Even so, dynamic wallpaper in floral patterns adds vitality to the solemn atmosphere and echoes the environmental protection philosophy of the corporation.

Tokyo is filled with tiny buildings on awkward sites - what Tokyo-based architect Yoshiharu Tsukamoto has called it the “pet architecture”. These are wedged onto tiny slivers of land left over from the slicing and dicing of urban p l a n n i n g a n d p ro p e r t y d e v e l o p m e n t processes. This building is a kind of pet architecture as interpreted by Klein Dytham Architecture. The building is tiny. It’s a 11m long, two-storey high wedge, sitting in a 22.5-sq-m site with 2.5m wide at one end and tapering to just 600mm at the other. Although small, it has a prominent position facing a well-trafficked road. Being nearly all front, the designers let it be what it so obviously wanted to be - an inhabitable billboard. Facade becomes image - image becomes facade. Suddenly the possibilities multiplied. “We might have been hired to build a building, but now we could pretend to plant trees! We used a strong, simple image of a bamboo grove stenciled in white onto the glass facade, and painted the back wall bright green,” said Mark Dytham, one of the partners of the studio. By day, the graphic becomes a striking and simple form of sun-shading; by night green light dapples over the intersection - a luminous bamboo plantation in the heart of the metropolis. The building is now occupied by the jewellery store “Acrylic” where shiny and glamorous products fit well in the play of light and shadow.

After experimenting contemporary Chinese fine jewellery on jade for many years, Samuel Kung finally opened his gallery shop in Hong Kong. Despite the controversially small size of the shop (only 19 sq m) where rare and valuable gem pieces are on display, Edge Design Institute Ltd. designed a space which resembles a maze of lattice screens at a distance and a calm exhibition corridor when situated inside. Lattice is a traditional Chinese spatial element transformed here to achieve different degrees of transparency, reflection and illumination. The pattern of the lattice is developed from the Penrose tiling in which non-repeating pattern can be achieved from 36 degree and 72 degree parallelograms. The same pattern in five scales and materials are applied to all surfaces and fixtures inside the shop. The lattice concept provides a bold interplay of the carefully scaled pattern which disguises the smallness of the shop and makes it a memorable art installation in the mall environment. The jade jewellery in turn becomes exhibits within another exhibit (the lattice installation).

A dedicated minimalist-style advocate, Hong Kong based designer Steve Leung has skillfully merged eastern and western styles that align with the concept behind the shop design of the jewellery brand. The leather furnishings, subtle Chinese patterns, display cabinets and light sources are placed precisely to boost their aesthetic value. A crystal chandelier in the sensual shape of the Wulu (the brand’s signature collection inspired by the “8� shape of a gourd), hangs down from the side of the entrance to give a touch of floating in the air. The red and black interior, together with the special lighting effect, creates a quiet tranquility and shining luxury ambience, akin to a Chinese painting that invites meditation.

Located on a busy boulevard, the storefront of Jewelers Market features tall windows with dramatic views into the store and a glamorous vintage black and white billboard that draws attention to the sophisticated facade. The soaring double height 1,900-sq-m space features a sleek, contemporary “streets of shops” concept. The undulating caselines in rich dark wood and luminous metal create elegant boulevards and plazas that are easy to shop and circulate. Geometric patterned sable carpets and limestone arrival points use light and dark tones to define traffic and specialty areas. The undulating layout provides total tenant flexibility, as well as containing work areas behind layered wall panels of wood and frosted glass. The sleek, rich design and palette is balanced by an exposed industrial ceiling in cream and open halogen lighting grid. The central plaza’s high ceiling is defined by larger floating elliptical rings in sable fabric and translucent metal sheers. The ellipses are complemented by curved, sweeping ceiling planes that bring lower human scale height to the perimeter “streets”. This unique concept brings a sleek, sophisticated, upscale ambiance to a typically street bazaar environment with contemporary architecture and warm rich materials to create a memorable and value-focused dramatic jewellery market.

Daslu, one of the most exclusive department stores in the world, has built on its drop-dead Brazilian glamour with the opening of an enormous new landmark store in Sao Paolo. UK’s HMKM has designed a 1,200-sq-m Men’s Technology Floor. Part product gallery, part exhibition space, and part private club, this space represents a whole new concept in retailing. On this floor, customers are able to admire the latest Mercedes coupé, gear up in the hottest sports wear, buy a helicopter, upgrade their Apple i-book or have a drink in the leather, book-lined bar while listening to the latest CD. The space is like a Technology Studio or an atelier of the new. Floors in white lacquer parquet and glossy white lacquer display plinths with illuminated glass tops, sit within etched glass pavilions, reinforcing the white heat of technology. As a foil to this, classical columns create a formal walkway on either side of the floor. A gallery is formed at the back to highlight the latest mobile telephones, set in a honeycomb of recesses.

In this project, Ling conceived the space as a walk-in watch. The space is a chain mail lined cylinder with a watch face on the ceiling. The ceiling is a functioning clock with hour and minute hands set to Vegas time. The walls are lined with nickel coil draperies over gold walls, reminiscent of metal watchbands. Ling marked the movement of time with four types of glowing displays. A central glass display in the form of a 3/4 crescent creates the centre pivot of the space, which spins around metaphorically just as the watch hands spin literally. Expanding from the centre are three layers of display: freestanding cylindrical glass vitrines, rectangular glass vitrines engaged into the walls and fully recessed niches that form a lyrical horizontal movement in contrast to the punctuation of the floor vitrines.

The lighting concept is composed of indirect lighting in the wall and ceiling coves at the perimeter of the watch face rendering a floating ceiling appearance. All four displays are illuminated from within and lit from above with grouped lights that form the hour markings. A private viewing niche tucked into the corner provides a more discreet viewing experience. The French limestone floors and spider marble facade top off the palate. The storefront hints at the cylindrical interior with a bowed gold-framed shop window. Three round openings in the existing limestone edifice serve as display oculi.

Gizmos is conceived as a theatrical surfing experience riding a 14-ft high wave of luxurious macassar ebony issuing forth from the back of the shop 23-ft into the space. The wave is frozen between walls of floating luminous display cases. Continuing the flow from front to back are three layers of luminous displays that line the shop. Stretching from front to back are upper acrylic vitrines suspended off the wall at eye level. Directly below are enclosed lower acrylic vitrines at table height. On axis with the asymmetrical entrance is a centre-floating table that completes the display with an ebony clad cash wrap that matches the ebony wave. Completing the axis from front entrance to the back are a grid of TV monitors inspired by Nam Jun Paik’s video installations. The lighting concept is composed of indirect lighting in the wall and ceiling coves at the perimeter. All three displays are illuminated from within and lit from above with adjustable track lights located inside the ceiling coves. Furthermore, a 4-ft diameter illuminated acrylic column clads the original structure. The spider marble floors top off the palate. Located at the corner, the storefront hints at the techno nature of the merchandise with an all glass floor to ceiling holographic shop window. Rounding the corner, Ling carved lyrically placed irregular openings into the 3-ft thick storefront that truncate to narrow slots inside the store.

Located at Rue de Montpensier, this Marc Jacobs store is the first in Europe for the brand and serves as a Paris flagship location. The challenge here was to insert a luxurious, contemporary retail store into seven bays of the historic Palais Royale. A series of architectural strategies were used to create an architecture that is simultaneously modern, luxurious and consistent with the brand identity, even as it remains sensitive to the 17th-and-18th-century architecture of the palace. Three adjacent spaces were combined to create a 170-sq-m continuous ground level that houses the Men’s and Women’s Collection and Accessories; while the 120-sq-m basement contains offices, stockrooms and other support spaces. The result is a jewel box lined in mirror, glass, nickel and sycamore, with a crisply detailed, contemporary, vaulted ceiling that unifies the entire store. Within this larger space are three distinct retail zones: Women’s Collection, which is anchored under a nine-square vault by a large glass-and-mirrored-nickel armoire for furs and gowns; the Men’s sales

area, which has a separate entrance and a more private scale; and a gallery of Accessories lined with glass and mirror that is flooded with light and links the two primary spaces. By opening up the rear facade directly to the Rue de Montpensier, the designer created an important cross axis through the store to improve circulation. Many established Marc Jacobs’ finishes underscore the retail identity from a contemporary viewpoint and are used here with an assured sense of luxury and timelessness - Dark Emperador marble and mauve silk-and-wool carpeting on the floors; sycamore paneling; polishednickel and glass vitrines with satin-nickel frames; polished-nickel, antique-glass and sycamore armoires; custom Christian Liaigre furnishings and lighting (including pendants for the storefront); and chocolate-coloured leather lining the fitting room vestibules. All new steel-and-glass casement windows open the store to the Palais’ central courtyard. The historic granite walkways were cleaned and repaired as new Marc Jacobs marble signage was added to the thresholds.

Today, customers have higher expectations on fashion and also more choices available for their purchases. An excellent store design would be a substantial advantage to attract potential buyers. In designing the shop for one of its famous fashion brands - Lu Lu Cheung Fashion, the creative director Pal Pang aims at projecting a sense of harmony and high fashion. He cleverly holds up a streamline design for the store display that reflects the image of Lu Lu Cheung. The theme of the design captures the idea of Asian spirit. It reflects the consciousness of tailor made and proportion for the store. The design elements include suitable materials and colours to present the image. Pang has adopted plain colours such as off white and wooden brown to create a warm atmosphere which makes one feel comfortable and want to stay longer. “Colour should be interacted with the brand image. Along with high cutting design, it can present the nature of the products,” said Pang. He plays with space and colours rather than using elaborated decoration as he believes that the best way to highlight the uniqueness of the brand is to bring out its elegance through simplicity. Different from conventional fashion stores that focus on functional use, the design of this boutique ingeniously matches functionality with aesthetic. Pang positions the store as high fashion, and stimulates customers by introducing the Asian spirit. The design bonds image and message in a mild manner. It successfully attracts the sight of customers and gives them a comfortable shopping experience in a stylish environment. ir=ir=`ebrkd=c^peflk=pelm

As part of an on-going relationship with fashion brand French Connection (FCUK), Din Associates Ltd. developed a new retail concept for this 350-sq-m store in the heart of Norwich’s Chapelfield Shopping Centre, and the concept will also be implemented to other stores as part of the brand’s rolling store update programme worldwide. The need for a new concept came about as a result of the continually developing market of the client. The brief stressed that the update should be seen as an evolution of its existing 2,000 concept stores, with the same strengths and values, but bring more drama and a sense of theatre into the space. This has been achieved by moving on from the more precious, “white box” concept, to a raw and edgy scheme with exposed mechanical and electrical services, changes in pace and more interesting use of materials. The delicate 2,000 palette has been replaced by reclaimed pine and resin floors, a Stirling board shell, back-lit white lacquer ribbon walls, huge photographic lightboxes, oak joinery and fitting rooms. Galvanised steel forms the backdrop to a softer, lower-case treatment of the brand which sits above a dramatically-sized opening to the store, flanked on both sides by vast picture windows.
