Overview

Competition for development of new retail concepts for large international clothing enterprises.

Description
The competition is promoted by POLI.design, Consortium of the Politecnico di Milano (Italy) and represents a challenge for designers in finding new eco-sustainable and creative solutions capable to express the quality of interior environments, products and services. Possible future spaces thought not merely for selling products but also for communication, interaction with final users and aggregation activities. Spaces where technology is capable of humanizing the approach to buying by transforming it in a social experience, a moment for self-gratification and pleasure.
