With increasing digital knowledge, access to computers is integral and creates for additional comfort and inclusion. The small space may allow intimate calls via Zoom. A large bookshelf + display case may showcase rotating local art or books with the neighborhood library. A large map outlining Des Moine’s neighborhoods creates mosaic-like art, relating to the brand identity and celebrating the community.

STAGE DRAMA g uc c i lux ur y r et a il st or e R e vi t , Ens c ap e , Phot os hop D ra m a , W hi m s y, A rt Inspired by dramatic and atmospheric theatre art, the Gucci store in Rome, Italy draws from the changing set displays, the on-stage and offstage concept, and common theatre elements. A strong divide between the on-stage Gucci shopper and the off-stage employee ensures a balanced atmosphere, as if it were a live play. Customers may enjoy live performance art or fashion shows between transition spaces. Reinforcing the nod to theatre takes shape in draping curtains, spotlights, and platforms. Customers may fully immerse in a Gucci set. Stage + Runw ay

Small accessories like purses, shoes, and jewelry are emphasized to encourage shoppers to grab finishing touches to their outfit before making their way to the fitting rooms. A custom designed flooring abstracts the recognizable Gucci monogram to a geometric marble.
