Built a space utilizing existing fixtures with a short delivery time of about 1 month

-Challenges-

  • Project progression in a short period of about 1 month
  • Spatial design in harmony with existing fixtures

Under the concept of "The Art of engineering. Engineering for Art.," this pop-up space allows visitors to freely view 1,200 masterpieces (photo books) collected by Sigma. It was necessary to progress from spatial design to drawing creation and construction completion within a limited schedule of about 1 month, and furthermore, it was a challenge to incorporate the prepared fixtures into the space without discomfort and harmonize the whole.

Calm lounge colored with fabric decorations

ーPoints of Space Design & Constructionー

  • Directing a lounge-like space with a calm atmosphere where visitors can relax
  • Eye-catcher utilizing large fabrics
  • Effective decoration by window CS (cutting sheet)
  • Spatial design seamlessly integrating existing fixtures

We unified the entire space with calm tones so that visitors could slowly enjoy the 1,200 valuable photo books. On the other hand, we placed large fabrics and window CS at points where we wanted to attract appearance and attention, strengthening the function as an eye-catcher. We realized a space utilizing existing fixtures speedily.
