The Design

About LA5 X House of Suntory Retail Pop Up

House of Suntory is an experiential retail pop-up located at Hamad International Airport in Qatar. The pop-up was created in partnership with Qatar Duty Free to present Japanese artistry and tradition to travelers. The exterior takes inspiration from Machiya style wood lattices, reinterpreted in a contemporary form as a reference to the first shop of the company in Japan. Ikebana displays and storytelling elements create a calm moment within the airport. The design joins modern form with cultural heritage.
