Design Details

Unique Properties
This design is a pop up design. We used the simplest material and technology to built it. The most unique features of this design must be the inner connection between the design itself and the concept of the brand.
Inspiration
The name of the brand is Sugar Lady. We extracted Sugar as our key elements. By observing sugar crystal, we came up with the idea of using steel and canvas as a metaphor of charming women. Time gave them strength. However, inside their heart they were still as sweet and beauty as they always are.
Research
The most important part for this design is the understanding of the brand culture. We thought deeply of the meaning of Sugar Lady and then came up with the sugar crystal idea.
Challenge
As a pop store, we need to made our design simplified enough to be constructed and removed. At the same time, there's not enough light for the exhibition, so additional light design was required. So we made several cells, each was just made by steel bones and industrial nylon sheet surface, each to build and move. Also, we put light in it to make it glowing from inside.
Realization and Technology
The illustration were coming from 600mm*600mm LED panel. The cover coat was made by industrial nylon sheet, which could save more budgets as well as providing better illustration effects.
Operation and Interaction
The key point of this design is changeable, which means all the cells of those sugar crystal can be re-combined and moved all around, just depends on how the users would like to arrange them.
Project Duration and Location
The project was built on 15th August 2016, in ShangHai, China. The exhibition lasted for two weeks.
Specifications
The total area is 6000mm*10000mm. Fitting room:2000mm*2000mm*2400mm. Display cells: 650mm*850mm*2350mm, 650mm*850mm*2200mm, 750mm*1200mm*2200mm, 750mm*950mm*2000mm.
