DISSONA CONCEPT STORES

Jorinal Development/Dissona, Shenzhen, China

Proposal 2011
Project 2011
Completion 2011

High-end leather goods manufacturer, Dissona, ask us to reconceptualize and energize the brand and experiment with a new environmental identity. The compact concept store site is situated within a large Shenzhen shopping mall and we produced a range of approaches that worked to perceptually enlarge the space and present product with a gallery exhibition sensibility.

Proposals range from spare cantilevered wall boxes that highlight just a handful of products while providing storage within, to field arrays of vertical panels and poles, to pleated side wall schemes that are perceived completely differently from outside and within.
