Yabu Pushelberg Designs - Latest Design

In Shangai's Times Square, Yabu Pushelberg designed Lane Crawford's new China flagship store. Till date, this is the largest and luxurious retail store designed covering 150,000 square feet land spanning four floors.

The colour scheme that has been chosen is neutral with mild shades of blues and purples, burnt orange.

"Base materials such as English onyx and limestone, chosen for their beautiful grain and warm tones, carry a common element across all four levels, while champagne coloured chain mail cascades down the walls and voids, unifying the vertical space. This motif is further developed into a rain pattern, rendered in specialty paint and mother of pearl, which evolves in mood and scale from floor to floor."

Whats new in Beauty? - Ignite Review

Japonesque Beauty Brand - John Lewis - Complete turn-key solution by Ignite Design from Concept retail design to installation of 4 sites in 10 weeks.

Whats new in beauty?

Beauty DIY is Key:

Giving people what they want, how they want it is a key trend underlined by an even bigger trend, giving consumers the tools to do it themselves. It picks up on the interest of 'show your working' - type marketing in which luxury brands demonstrate their craft in a public, how-to format.

Customers appreciate knowing the provenance and craft behind their favourite products and when it comes to beauty, we're seeing an emerging lab-style workshop approach in retail laying out products in a help-yourself environment reminiscent of a beauty science lab. The effect is interactive and inviting rather than clinical - the laboratory being seen as a seductive place where magical alchemy happens.
