Inspiration Board

I am exploring shape, color, floor layout and pattern and repetition. My goal for my concept reflects an upscale club and tropical atmosphere while maintaining the core shopping experience. The shopping experience is in a drink, and as you walk through the store, there is a lemon section, cherry section, and pineapple section as it is expressed in the axon below.

The top three images reflects shape, space and pattern. These three factors were used for the shape of shelving for accessories, display along the windows, and a space for a private collection.

The middle image is a precedent of Prada’s runway: Back to the Basics. This plays a roll in my ceiling elements, as well as my runway area for when there is a fashion show going on.

On the bottom row, these images communicates the aesthetic I’m going for in my decision making for the space. These images feel upscale, chic with a personalized experience for shopping, lounging and going to the bar.
