About Cotton Spate 展示櫃

Cotton Spate係專為期間限定店設計嘅一款展示櫃。呢個櫃只展示少量產品，令每件商品都可以獨立吸引目光。佢嘅造型靈感嚟自秘魯湖邊生長嘅有機皮馬棉花田。白色嘅立體波浪形表面承托住薄身嘅圓形金屬板，用嚟擺放展品。波浪部分係用高密度發泡膠，根據電腦模型手工塑形而成，圓形金屬板則髹上白色油漆。櫃檯同外部框架採用木材製造，波浪形表面下方設有儲物空間。

The circular surface is white painted metal inserted into the high-density foam. The counter and outside enclosure of the console is crafted by the carpenter with wood.

In the end, the attentive solution is to incorporate other industry master craftsmen to cut the high-density foam by hand by referencing the computer model.

The Pima cotton flower grows by the lake in Peru and it creates a strong impression of purity. The shelf incorporates the identity of the brand by creating a white three-dimensional wavy surface and host circular thin metal plates to present their items.
