Industrial Design for Outer Space

Designing the interior of a spacecraft may be more difficult than you think. When dealing with long tearm confinement, everything from the shape of a chair to the color of the wall could have an effect on a crew members mental stability. This is truly a mix of design, engineering and straight forward problem solving.

PARISTEXAS

PARISTEXAS Graphic Identity

PARISTEXAS is an exclusive fashion store focusing on specially selected designer products for men and women. Brand design by Scandinavian DesignLab.

The visual identity springs from the contrast inherent in the name – the morphing of Paris and Texas. The logotype is simple and taut, while the colour palette is flexible and changes with the collections. Identity and uniqueness come to the fore when the store’s symphony of collections is juxtaposed with the austere underground style and becomes a morphing of music instruments and earthly insects.With this contrast-filled universe, the solution seeks not only to break with the traditional perception of beauty and fashion – it also challenges the classic approach to working with identity. The primary identity element is not only a logo, but also a symbolic universe with a life of its own.

PanPan Atelier

PanPan Atelier identity design 02

PanPan Atelier a Artisan bakery chain in Valencia, Spain. Brand design Rocío Martinavarro.

Contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional ear of wheat, the basic ingredient of bread to form a pattern that is easily recognizable. The chevron pattern also reminds of antique artisan techniques such as woven esparto baskets, used to display the bread, or opus spicatum, redefined in the interior design of PanPan bakeries.

The naming concept is based on word repetition in order to emphasize authenticity. Bread-bread, as in real bread. This system is carried throughout all communication materials, and has endless possibilities, all grouped under one slogan with double meaning: “PanPan. Repetirás” (BreadBread. You will repeat).
Custom lettering for the logotype.

Roen

Roen Interior design 01

Interior design by Ito Masaru Design Project SEI.

The space is divided into large three zones through setting the tunnel made of black glass at the center obliquely in response to the customer circulation. The space starts from the main zone positioned in the center that is opened widely towards the entrance. The custom-made chandelier made of Swarovski crystal and the titanium skull as the symbol of this shop is set on the ceiling like a waterfall towards the floor. And the small room next to the main zone is positioned as an antechamber of the fitting room. The room is featured by the organically wriggling floor with the digital LED installed under the glass printed in the colored leopard skin pattern.
Moreover, the minimally constructed cashier zone is positioned on the left zone. As a result, the whole space is presenting Roen’s regular concept such as the fusion of minimum and glamorous taste without intention.
