The Design

About Fragrance Gallery Innenarchitektur für den Einzelhandel

Die Fragrance Gallery ist ein Verkaufsraum für eine Parfümmarke in Peking mit einer Fläche von 314 Quadratmetern. Der Raum ist eher wie eine Kunstgalerie als wie ein herkömmliches Geschäft gestaltet. Der Eingangsbereich besteht aus rund 5.000 wiederverwerteten Parfümflakons, die eine Medienstruktur bilden, deren Farbe sich zwischen Tag und Nacht verändert. In der Haupthalle trägt eine 20 Meter lange gekrümmte Fläche digitale Projektionen von Duftstrukturen sowie Informationen zur Geschichte und zu den Rohstoffen. Der Entwurf verbindet visuelle, akustische, olfaktorische und interaktive Elemente und führt die Besucher auf einem selbstgeführten Rundgang durch den Raum.

Unique Properties
The design concept of the media space is not simply to integrate multimedia into the planning of the space but more to explore new approaches to design. The fragrance retail space is ultimately presented as an art gallery, breaking the traditions of the sales environment. SODA offers customers a multi-dimensional experience of fragrance through visual, auditory, olfactory senses, and interactive experiences.

Production Technology
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.
Design Challenge
How to reasonably design the experience circulation and create a reasonable tour rhythm was the key in our design process.

The challenges we tackled are
How to invite customers to settle down and get to know the products,
How to guide people to participate in the interaction,
How can surprises discovery continue,
How to promote guests to take pictures and share

The final showroom meets the above requirements and at the same time achieves a promising communication result.
Research
We studied the display methods of various perfume stores and the experience of museums, in accordance with the brand's characteristics of subverting tradition and fashion. We designed an exclusive experiential space for the brand, guiding consumers to understand the history and product characteristics during the exhibition and self-guided tour, contributing to the improvement of product sales.
Inspiration
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 and,
How to provide sensory experiences other than smell and vision.
Project Duration
The project started in August 2019 and finished in October 2020 in Beijing.
Operation Flow
The entrance,
SODA language,a 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.
