The Design

About Arcteryx Sanlitun 旗舰店

设计团队在森林中寻找倒下的枯木，通过切片并封装于玻璃中将其转化为装饰立柱。柱上的年轮作为视觉见证，展现了树木在自然生长中所经历的磨砺与考验——这种坚韧精神与Arcteryx突破极限、不断向上的品牌理念相呼应。树洞概念也被应用于首层空间，每个场景均从自然中汲取灵感，以满足户外运动爱好者的需求。

Unique Properties: The design narrative draws inspiration from adventures amid mountains and forests and pays homage to Vancouver's cultural context. Through a continuous dialogue with nature, the store guides consumers through diversified themed spaces, offering an unprecedented experience for both outdoor enthusiasts and the brand's veteran fans.
Dimensions & Packaging: The overall space emphasizes the harmonious blend of an outdoor feeling and a sense of technology. Display installations are crafted with acrylic and metal materials and mirror the forms of production line equipment. This choice seeks to spotlight the brand’s dedication to research and development and its modification techniques, while paying homage to its outdoor spirits.

Production Technology: The design captures the essence of a natural mountain. A luminous installation in the shape of the brand's skeleton logo is placed on the rugged surface, forming a unique brand atmosphere in the external environment to invite customers into a setting that encapsulates the spirit of Vancouver's mountains and forests.
Design Challenge: The second floor is curated as an urban life product area for the 24 Collection, the Veilance Series, and in store sharing sessions on mountain skills. Throughout the entire space, elements of rocks, trees and wood grain are incorporated into the mountainous backdrop to express the brand DNA of ARC'TERYX. A combination of ambient lighting and localized lighting for products contributes to the creation of distinct atmospheres in different areas through the interplay of warm and cold tones.
Research: Within the 24 collection product display area, wooden frame structures are adopted. Meanwhile, an irregular mountain shaped display platform creates an outdoor vibe through details on its base. A cavern shaped installation takes center stage in the area for sharing sessions on the second floor. Low tables made of timber piles, fabric sofas, and decorative floor stoves collectively craft a cozy setting infused with a woodland feel.
Inspiration: Situated on an L shaped site, the store features a facade crafted from gray rocks embedded with glass. Employing bold design techniques, this composition not only creates a striking visual effect but also demonstrates the brand’s distinctive and memorable identity.
Project Duration: Start time: November 2022
End time: October 2023
Location: Building S01, 19 Sanlitun Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing
Operation Flow: The design team hunted for fallen dead trees in the forest and transformed them into decorative columns by slicing and encasing them in glass. The tree rings on these columns serve as a visual testament to the trials and tribulations endured by the trees during their growth in nature – a perseverance that resonates with the spirit of Arcteryx, which aims to break through limits and keep reaching upwards.
