About Fragrance Gallery 零售室內設計

香氛藝廊係北京一個香水品牌嘅零售室內空間,佔地314平方米。呢個空間佈置成藝術畫廊,而唔係傳統嘅商店。入口由大約5,000個回收香水樽建造而成,形成一個日夜變換顏色嘅媒體結構。喺主廳,一個長20米嘅曲面承載住香水質感嘅數碼投影,以及有關歷史同原材料嘅資訊。呢個設計結合咗視覺、聲音、氣味同互動元素,引導參觀者展開自助導覽之旅。

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.
