A Mag­i­cal Exe­cu­tion of Retail Brand Design
Occa­sion­ally we’re reminded that whilst not all brand expres­sions are born equal, all brand ges­tures have the poten­tial to be sub­lime. Recently I came across a retail win­dow dis­play for fash­ion brand Her­mes in their Mai­son Her­mès store in Tokyo. This beau­ti­ful exam­ple of visual mer­chan­dis­ing designed by Toku­jin Yosh­ioka will be on show until 19 Jan­u­ary 2010. See the stun­ning clip of the retail dis­play after the jump…

On design­ing a window-display of Mai­son Her­mès, I intended to express people’s daily ‘move­ments’
with a sus­pi­cion of humor. there are moments when I per­ceive a hid­den pres­ence of a per­son in
the move­ments born nat­u­rally in daily life. I cre­ated a design where one can per­ceive some­one
behind the scarves as if life were being breathed into them.
the win­dow is designed with an image of woman pro­jected on to a mon­i­tor. the scarf softly sways
in the air in response to the woman’s blow.

    Wow that is amaz­ing. Beau­ti­ful surreal.

    What a sim­ple but stun­ning and effec­tive win­dow per­for­mance Dave. In true typ­i­cal ‘Her­més’ style.

  3. david says:

    I’d almost clas­sify this as an art instal­la­tion. Art has always tran­scended brand in the style stakes, espe­cially when it has a clas­sic beauty like this
