VIVINEVO fragrance art gallery
Designer:SODA
Brand:VIVINEVO
Brand concept identification
Vivinevo's core concept is "nature, romance, and art." To overturn tradition and fashion is the brand's hallmark; therefore, SODA designed the store with the brand's signature experience as the theme. The traditional sales area was downsized to one part of the experience. The entrance: SODA language—physical pixel installation. The designer collected
5000 perfume bottles and made a media structure out of them. The entrance is turned out into a colors-changing media that keeps rendering the atmosphere day and night.
The main hall: a 20m length irregular curved surface with digital projection. The projected changing perfume texture renders the atmosphere of the space. The projected information adds another layer on the texture and the exhibition, delivering the related knowledge of perfume to the customers, such as history and raw materials.
synesthesia interaction: a moving image, odor, sound combined multi-sensory space. By picking up the receiver, the customers will trigger the change of background sound and the video, immerse themselves in the situation of a specific perfume while squeeze and release the odor. The synesthesia experience connects with memory and impressive the customers.
Design innovation
This project made a breakthrough in the design of tangible smell experience. Unlike the traditional commercial spaces, whose primacy were visual experience at scale, VIVINEVO fragrance art gallery focus on the customers’ smell experience, which brought up the following questions:
How to provide an olfactory experience?
How to combine smell and vision?
How to provide sensory experiences other than smell and vision?
In response to the questions, SODA integrated several multimedia with space morphology to create an interactive environment. Overall, the space is divided into five exhibition areas.
The first area extends from the façade to the entrance, with a floral wall visible from a distance and a dynamic entrance that improves the store's visibility and identifies itself to the neighborhood. Inside, the first thing you see is the dewdrop-shaped projection on the main hall. Followed by the synesthesia experience area and the interactive scenting area, the final stop is the custom fragrance experience area. The traditional sales function was reduced. Guests are invited to design their own scent according to their preferences as the finale fragrance discovery journey.
Consumer satisfaction
After completing the project, the Fragrance Art Museum soon became the new focus of Beijing Place, with a large number of posts on various social media platforms. Customers were delighted with the art museum visiting as the primary and the sales area as the secondary experience. They spontaneously post photos to share with the public. Media in various fields have also reported on it. The client's feedback shows that this store's sales performance has exceeded the expected sales target.
Environmental protection
The primary material of the media entrance is the brand's perfume bottles. This entrance is constructed of around 5,000 recycled perfume bottles. The bottles perform an implicit reflection of the brand's image and a surprise to the customers. Ultimately, the used perfume bottles represent a memory, an emotion, an experience, and a sensual connection between users and the brand.

Brand concept identification
This place is relaxing, relevant to everyday life and ever-changing, which coincides with the brand values of MAIA ACTIVE.
MAIA ACTIVE is an activewear brand co-founded by two Chinese designers. It emphasizes sports aesthetics, and strives to provide Asian females with lightweight, comfortable and stylish products.
We were invited by MAIA ACTIVE to conceive its flagship store in Taikoo Li Sanlitun. Inspired by the relaxing, free ambience of the site, we identified "Gadabout Soul" as the design concept. Sole is intangible, and that's why it has infinite vitality and freedom. Flexible curves were introduced to run through the space, so as to bring aesthetic fluidity to daily life.
Prop design integrates various materials to highlight a relaxing, dynamic feeling while also conveying the consistency and pioneering spirit of the brand.
Design innovation
The irregular polygonal space is divided into several core blocks, including the round stand inside the entrance, display furniture combinations at the middle, fitting area, resting area and wall display area. To increase the rhythm of the overall space and break the dullness, we emphasized the roundness of structures at all functional areas. With simple yet diversified forms, the functional blocks are like freely moving "points" in the space that encounter with customers. Through combining a variety of materials, we hoped to redefine the apparel store and break the constraints of scenes.
The distinct wooden racks in the display area resemble simplified Pilates equipment, and the interspersed purple acrylic panels inject lightness and fluidity into the space via transparent textures. Various materials and forms, which are like groups of distinctive props, help enrich the narratives of the space.
Consumer satisfaction
To create more flexible functions in the store, we specially designed a column system for display racks. Each column is clad with wood-grain veneers, and the color on the sides of the columns can be adjusted according to the varying theme of the store during its operation. In addition, holes are carved out on the columns to allow for different combinations, thereby creating multiple display modes and activating the fluidity of the space. Clothes can be hung in various manners, and can be displayed on multi-level panels as well.
As for lighting treatment, we referenced to American minimalist artist Dan Flavin's colorful light installations. By the combination of glass materials and color gradation, the space is endowed with varying lighting effects at different time periods. The movement of light changes the stillness of the space, and introduces the concept of "time" into it. Either strong or soft, the lighting enriches the variations of colors within the interior.
Rubber materials that clad the touchable surfaces are similar to those of sports fields in terms of textures. The small blue rectangles on the floor remind people of sports fields, and also enhance the playfulness of fitting rooms along with the purple light.

The concept of design-- Treasure hunt in the KR-π platinum mine on Sumer planet The significance of gems lies not only in their own value, but also in the process of discovery behind them. Even with cliffs, dense caves and abysses, miners are willing to explore the unknown and mysterious world, and finally get what they want.
Platinum is an important element of the ONESWEAR brand. The place with the most abundant platinum resources in the universe is the KR-π platinum mine on the Sumer planet. Therefore, the designer hopes to create a mysterious and experiential alien space, simulating the experience of an explorer landing in a platinum mine on an outer planet, so that every customer who enters the Vow will explore and discover with curiosity and find his own gem.
Design innovation
Located in the second floor of a building named Columbia Circlein Changning District, Shanghai city, the area, covering 130m2 and measured at 2.4 meters high, includes two rooms which can be connected by breaking the wall in between. The client requires that the design can be adapted to a variety of reception areas, art installations, warehouse areas, exhibition areas and auxiliary space, etc., and it should be practical in usage and beautiful in design and have a sense of creativity. Be faced with the challenges of contradictions among functions, spaces and environment, the designer needs to get rid of unwanted walls and make the two rooms a whole one. He needs break out the chains of original area by designing and satisfies the client to the extreme on the basis of strictly controlling the cost, creating a commercial space with the function of communication, exhibition, retail, tourism, and other functions. The limited space with unlimited functions provides the customers with the best shopping experience.
Consumer satisfaction
The facade is painted plain white with natural stone coating, and the entry is designed to echo with the concept of caves. Several streamlined and curved windows of different shapes display the color of comforting with well-distributed illumination of the strings of lights surrounding them, making the space looks more integrated and coherent. Meanwhile, such design comes from newly-thickened walls to extrude the decoration part and will not damage the original wall.
The design of the whole space starts at theexhibition space. The designer directly combines showcases and walls, leaving much room for streamlined artwork for exhibition at the center. The wall is made up of perforated boards which are cut into curved surfaces in pieces and has relatively strong ability of fire-proof.
The curves are involved in the whole structure and appearance: the walls that used to be placed with full of square multimedia televisions are adapted to the continuous curved flakes which visually soften the edges of the televisions and showcases by embedding them in the shape of curves. The dark-gray curved and detached walls integrate with showcases makes a nature transition, a simulation of rocky coastlines in holes and caves. At the same time, the design meets the need of jewelry exhibition, improve space utilization and creates a visual sense of flow inside the space.
Environmental protection
The white walls used to be decorated with square windows. To standardize the design language, the designer builds another barrier by using light steel joist inside the walls and creates anomaly holes on the top to fit in the outside design and smooth the vision of original square-like appearance of windows, making the overall arrangement more clear. The nature light let out through windows and professional lighting system achieves a perfect balance between sunlight and artificial light for this space.

HUAWEI Flagship Store Chengdu

HUAWEI Flagship Store Chengdu
Designer:VEGA
Brand:HUAWEI
Brand concept identification
Since it is the store that connects the brand and users, how to tell the story between Huawei and its users has become the most crucial part at the initial stage of space design. In answer to what life will look like in the future, we believe that it will be a one-world. As people pursue openness, cooperation and win-win results, the boundary will become fuzzy. In the future, we will share wisdom, technology, joy and harvest. Thus, it will be a borderless and caring future.
"Breaking the boundary, Coming to life" is put forward as the design theme of Huawei Chengdu flagship store. Breaking the boundary is used as a response to the brand, whose mission is to build a fully connected intelligent world, whose products are aimed at full-category, full-scenario, full-global, and full-public. Coming to life corresponds to the user, building vivid urban spaces, offering living service and social amenity for residents, creating landmark or City Exchange Center for business travelers.
Design innovation
The site conditions were analyzed, deconstructed and reorganized around the space concept of "Breaking the boundary, Coming to life". The site is a two-story space with a trapezoidal plane. One side faces the outdoor square with a wide view, but the form is relatively closed. One side is adjacent to the atrium of the shopping mall, with sufficient natural light and open space. Firstly, we used functional rooms to reshape the space temperament of the two entrances, making them present a welcoming situation and blurring the boundary between indoor and outdoor. Then we connected the two levels with a penetrating landscape and staircase, breaking the vertical boundary. The landscape runs through the center of the store which is naturally divided into several zones. The flexible traffic forms a closed loop of "8" around the landscape. Users can see through the floor through the landscape, which assists to strengthen the relationship between the two levels of the store.
Consumer satisfaction
It is different from product-centric. This time we take consumers as the main subject of the space and put forward "Breaking the boundary, Coming to life" as the design theme. Customer experience of full-scenario, full-category, and full-ecology replace a mere focus on products, building a borderless and caring social space, and completely presenting a human-centered future intelligent life leading by technology. Combined with the local culture of "Chengdu loves bustle", the design language of landscape is used to blur the boundary and realize integration, communication and symbiosis. A relatively separate but connected space is made to better fit Chinese habit of space usage.
The combination of products and scenarios provides users with better experience and services.
Environmental protection
We do not advocate extreme environmentalism. In terms of sustainability, rather than merely recycling, we ask ourselves whether we are using our resources efficiently, whether we are making the best use of them. For design is the process of motivated rational construction, not simple passionate creation. It is the sound design language, proper material, and accurate expression that determine the sustainability.
The positioning of VEGA is to develop modern design based on Chinese traditional culture. "Sustainability" coincides with our pursuit of traditional Chinese culture. VEGA deems that the Chinese traditional culture stands as a philosophical thought that mankind is supposed to live in harmony with nature as well as themselves and others, which is derived from the philosophical theory in China that man is an integral part of nature, namely the sustainable development.

Brand concept identification
As a representative Chinese tea brand, Taetea is actively exploring and seeking to uncover possibilities for revitalizing traditional tea culture. It integrates classic elements of Pu'er tea into daily life while attempting to define a convenient and fashionable modern tea lifestyle together with young consumers.
Nowadays, drinking tea has become a popular way for modern people to relax. With the revival of Chinese culture, tea has returned to the attention of mass market consumers, becoming important for modern life.
Bricks-and-mortar stores are an essential medium for brand and consumer communication, and it's exceedingly important to figure out how to utilize space to convey brands' value proposition, concept, culture and spirit. Taetea commissioned BloomDesign to create an experiential store near No.28 Departure Gate of Kunming Changshui International Airport, as a new attempt to combine localized and trendy aspects in its branding.
Design innovation
The interior design is based on the culture of the 80-year-old brand. It combines modern urbanites' aesthetic tastes and consumption habits to redefine visual style and functional experience of the space. The overall space is dominated by red hues, which are as thick and clean as Pu'er Tea. It clearly stands out among the surrounding retail stores.
The open bar counter was designed as a relatively independent experiential area. It provides an overview of the entertaining and ceremonial tea brewing process by tea masters.
Consumer satisfaction
In order to meet different needs of customers who wait for flights in the fast-paced airport environment, the designers created diverse functional areas such as a tea gifts area, a tea master area for making, appreciating and tasting tea, and a leisure area for relaxation and socializing. Each cup of handcrafted tea has the lingering warmth, which provides a positive communication atmosphere for the brand and customers. It also enables young customers to perceive the time-honored brand's efforts to keep up with the times.
This space brings consumers from urban environment back into nature, allowing them to escape from the bustling city for a brief period of relaxation. With a contemporary and serene experiential environment, the space will bring endless inspiration and enlightenment to customers.
Environmental protection
Large areas of the space are clad in natural and breathing red clay, which is complemented with exquisite, mild copper and plain wood. The interior design abandons adornments, in order to display authentic and simple natural beauty.

Brand concept identification
The traditional retail store of MIYAMA is expanded to Shin Kong Place in Suzhou. The owner wants to design a high-quality space for presentation and sake tasting at the new store. Four freezers need to be placed and the public exhibition zone above 2.4 meters cannot be changed which is required by property management, so the main design goal is to utilize the three walls in the 30 square meter space so as to make exhibition express its theme by itself.
Design innovation
Exploring the nature of space
Sake is incredible liquid made from rice and water. It is Japanese typical alcoholic drink with local characteristics. We find a balance between sake bottles and flat eaves of verandas in Japanese architecture when exploring how to arrange sake in the space based on sake itself. Just as Louis Isadore Kahn said, need is easy to satisfy, but desire is hard to realize. The functional need for placing sake is easy to satisfy, but the feature of the space’s desire is hard to express. Based on Kahn’s architectural philosophy of “Form Evokes Function”, components of the sake store are evoked by form of sake. Cylindrical tiles echoes the shape of sake bottles, and the disposition of tiles in eave culture is converted into stacking of cylindrical tiles.
Logical presentation of order
Sake bottles have three sizes: small, medium and large. Height of tiles on walls are designed as per the medium size, and diameter of tiles on walls and racks is designed as per the diameter of large-sized bottles. The height of racks is parallel to overlap between two tiles. Sake bottles are placed in the grid system composed of cylindrical tiles, which meets the needs of different bottle sizes and finds the balance between bottle placement and units of exhibition walls.
Consumer satisfaction
Concrete expression of design
Bottles are mainly made of glass and frosted glass with a variety of colors. The most inclusive super white glass and frosted transparent glass are chosen as the main materials in the space to echo the quality of sake. Tiles on walls are made of frosted acrylic instead of frosted glass for safety, but textures of the two materials are nearly the same. The store continues to adopt stainless steel and glass materials of the original freezers. The two materials are inclusive and as clear as water, which just echoes “purity” of sake. People needs to calm down to feel its beauty with both gentle and strong spirits. Background walls have a variety of colors, which encourages consumers to interact with the store. For example, consumers are inspired by diverse experience to take and share photos, which may make the store Internet famous.
During construction of the project, we find the organic relationship between sake and units of exhibition walls by exploring the nature of space, and figure out the balance between bottle placement and units of exhibition walls. The exhibition space developed from the structural system organizes sake in a pure and harmonious way, and brings aura to modernity.
Environmental protection
01. Experimental sake store space built of stainless steel and glass
02. Space language derived from eaves culture
03. Material language derived from the texture of wine
In response to the essence of sake, the use of as few materials as possible to ensure the ""clear"" nature of sake is mainly made of stainless steel and glass. In order to ensure the safety of the tiles, frosted acrylic is used instead of frosted glass. The tile module can be used in the future. Replacement, since the scale of the tiles is introduced by the sake bottle body, if the store is relocated or the store area is enlarged, the tiles can also be reorganized and installed to obtain a new retail space without any cost of materials.

A. G-Rabbit, a 2.6-metre-tall green rabbit. Having grass in Cantonese means having salad. Sitting cross-legged, the grass-green rabbit has deep Zen—the obscure and profound Chinese traditional food culture. Its two big waving ears express the kind, modest and gentle people of China. The carrot-color eyes are naïve and lovely. Its “x”-shape mouth is also cute. G-Rabbit is so impressive and outstanding.
B. The ceiling occupied by the huge art installation: the nautilus like living grass. It is made by bronze wire with the weight of nearly 1,000 kilograms. It is the extension and embodiment of the creative idea of the LOGO, concept of the brand: ”Grass”. The artistic inspiration comes from the fantastic and precious nautilus’ naturally-grown golden spiral, which is the famous Fibonacci spiral. The nautilus is living fossils in the deep ocean, as precious as pandas because of its perfect and classical golden spiral.
G-Nautilus is made by hand, pulled and dragged irregularly. It is pre-made in the workshop, disassembled, and then delivered, reassembled on the site.
