World of Niche [Retail]

The Goal
Create a private high end shopping experience with storage all within 200 sq ft. of space.

The Proposal
Design a 1 on 1 shopping experience where clients enter a wood clad room with a floating rose gold sphere, which emulates the brand’s logo. After seating the client, The shop attendant activates the facade’s smart glass to transform a transparent showcase to a private shopping environment. The floating sphere is then pulled apart by the attendant, revealing the product inside.

What I Worked On
I was one of two designers on this project and I created initial concepts, sketches, and renderings for the shop. I helped develop the story of the shopping experience including the presentation of the merchandise. I also created construction documentation and worked with a fabrication team to produce the fiberglass sphere.
