About Top Toy Denda Nagusiaren Barne Diseinua

Top Toy Shanghaiko Nanjing East Road kalean kokatutako denda nagusi global baten barne diseinua da. Dendak jolas-hizkuntza espazial bat erabiltzen du, jostailuen ontzietan eta bideojoko-kontsola klasikoetan inspiratua. Fatxadak blister ontzi bat gogorarazten du, eta eskailerak jokoaren mailak bezala antolatuta daude. Pertsonaia-gune koloretsuek, kafe-guneek eta eraikuntza-blokeek esplorazioa gidatzen duten eszenak osatzen dituzte. Eraikuntza modularrak eta kolore biziek gai ludikoa indartzen dute. Diseinuaren helburua txikizkako salmenta fisikoa interaktiboa eta emozionalki erakargarria bihurtzea da, adin guztietako bisitarientzat.

Research
On Nanjing East Road, which represents a typical urban block, Top Toy’s first global flagship store in Shanghai infuses the commercial atmosphere with a sense of ease and humor through the spontaneity of play. This breaks away from the stern and rigid nature of traditional commercial architecture and creates a relaxing and delightful interactive space for consumers using a gamified spatial language. As the first flagship project in the brand's global strategy, the store not only serves as a pioneering initiative but also undertakes the mission of driving commercial innovation through design and reshaping the consumer experience.

Grounded in keen commercial insights, the designer integrates the concept of "gamification" throughout the spatial design, creating an immersive space that is both a benchmark for the brand and forward-looking in its commercial approach. This provides a new solution for the transformation and emotional upgrade of physical retail.
Inspiration
Inspired by the aesthetics of classic gaming consoles and the joy of play, the design draws on collective memories across generations. It reimagines the gaming world into a tangible experience, blending nostalgia, youth culture, and IP narratives. The aim was to emotionally reconnect users to the physical retail space, and create an interactive, story-rich, gamified journey for all ages.
Project Duration
The project is located on Nanjing East Road, one of Shanghai’s most iconic commercial streets, and officially opened to the public in January 2025 as the brand’s first global flagship.
Operation Flow
The space invites people to explore like players in a game. From entering the “blister package” façade to navigating staircases like game levels, each area is a scene with missions and rewards. Colorful IP zones, coffee spots, and building blocks create moments of discovery. It feels playful and intuitive—visitors don’t just shop, they play, connect, and remember.
