The Design

About LiNing 8th Gen Loja Conceito

A LiNing 8ª Geração é uma loja conceito de uma marca esportiva, ocupando 2.049 metros quadrados. O projeto inspira-se em pistas de corrida e quadras de basquete. A entrada expõe produtos de running sob faixas de luz que mudam de cor e brilham em ritmo cadenciado. Um telão de LED no centro remete aos painéis suspensos sobre as quadras de basquete e emoldura a exposição de artigos de basquete. As superfícies internas empregam cimento em acabamento simples, enquanto as prateleiras são executadas em metal e aço inoxidável com textura de fibra de carbono. As prateleiras podem ser desmontadas e recicladas, reduzindo o desperdício. Os produtos são organizados em áreas temáticas bem definidas.

Design Challenge: The challenge for this project was to design a flagship store that was not cliched and still felt relatable.
Research: The store image of the eighth generation is the result of continuous development and perfection following the development of the times. With the successive presentation of various types of stores with different conditions, the store image of the eighth generation has been enhanced and perfected in terms of decoration, gadgets, lighting and experience systems, forming a set of dynamic and continuous store image standards.
Inspiration: In the image design of the eighth generation flagship store of LiNing, the designers take running tracks and basketball gyms as the sources of inspiration, organically integrate professional products for running exercise and basketballs and all sorts of fashion products including sports fashion and China LiNing in the same store, highlighting professional sports attributes and the fashion life atmosphere of the brand.
Project Duration: The project started in December 2019 in Liuzhou and finished in May 2020 in Liuzhou.

The lights shine in rhythm, pairing with the running models below, for a dynamic display to attract the sight of people hurrying to and fro. The LED screen in the middle of the store is inspired by the LED screen at the top of basketball gym, which along with the focus display of the basketball models below, formulates the atmosphere characteristics of the basketball theme commodity exhibition in the middle.
