SIMMONS STORES DESIGN
Project assignment was rebranding Simmons stores in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Besides, including a mobile exhibition booth design for a Shanghai exhibition in 2016.
The retail market was gradually adapting to the rapid development of internet sales; therefore, the functional role of the shop was shifting. Simmons shops served as a platform for customers to try out and having better products experience.
The design was focused on customers’ circulation efficiency and accentuate the presence of beds and bedroom related products within a limited space. Changing the placement of beds and designing walls to be more fluid and natural in shape, even a minimal, pristine and perennial space would allow Simmons’ customers to linger and trial on beds freely. Such a barrier-free shop could help Simmons’ staff to observe potential customers’ needs. As a result, the elongated circulation increased customers’ time to spend interacting with store sales.
