About Boxes Shop

Boxes is a retail interior design created for a high-end children's clothing shop in Nanjing. The project covers 100 square meters. A box-like structure divides the window area into three parts: entrance, display and scene. Flat, inclined and cut planes extend the visual effect of the facade. The partition walls act as artistic elements rather than simple dividers. Mirrors extend the space and soften its limits. White surfaces keep the setting pure and calm. A space frame forms a new hanging display area for clothing.

Press Kit

Unique Properties: In the window area, the designer broke the convention and used the technique of interior architecture, through a "BOX" , to divide the window area into three spaces: entrance, display and scene. Featured by the morphological characteristics of plane, inclined plane and cut plane, "BOX" also contributes to the expansion and extension of the visual effect of the facade.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project covers a total of 100 square meters.

Production Technology: The infinitely extending mirror breaks the original gap and stimulates the imagination and creativity of the space. These characteristics can often bring unparalleled visual impact and psychological feelings.
Design Challenge: While retaining the original space attributes, the space frame constitutes a new hanging clothing display area. With the concept of decomposition, it emphasizes breaking, superposition and reorganization. Opposing the overall unity and focusing on the individual in the space, it's creating a sense of uncertainty, and then derive the personality fashion like children breaking the Convention
Project Duration: The project started in March 2020 in Nanjing and finished in July 2020 in Nanjing.
Operation Flow: The "BOX" space is not only a subversion of the traditional space design, but also a response to functional demands.
Research: The partition wall breaks away from the traditional way of separating space. The wall is no longer the basic element of the space, but an artistic carrier that brings emotional feeling in the space. The pure whiteness makes the space easy to reverie and thought-provoking and the un-decorated white wall adds more pureness.
Inspiration: This design is located in shops along the street in high-end residential areas in Gulou District, Nanjing. It is positioned as high-end children's clothing retail. The designer hope that through the integration of space aesthetics and art aesthetics, with the promotion of design brand image, excavate the deep commercial value of the brand, and create a space full of imagination and creativity
