IDEAT Booth
For Ideat’s booth at the Salone del Mobile Milano Shanghai Alberto Caiola Studio created a dynamic and interactive space with a minimal palette of two colours.
The predominant colour is a deep blue, visually striking but also allowing for a green screen effect to virtually place visitors in the concurrent exhibition in Milan via a photo stage at one end. In addition to this virtual portal to Milan, the booth housed a cafe area, magazine display and stepped seating. Scrolling LED displays run along the booth adding movement, and the magazine logo in a bold and contrasting green, applied in orthogonal projection over the stepped seating and central area of the booth, adds further dynamism, its elements shifting in the view of passers-by.

Aime Patisserie
Lukstudio have designed this small patisserie extending features of the brand’s packaging into architectural form whilst maximising usage of a small space.
The shop stands in a row originally fronted with dark wooden panels. These are replaced with a predominantly white facade creating a strong presence and a contrast with adjacent businesses.
The display window and a lit panel above introduce a motif of regularly overlapping semi- circles derived from the design of the shop’s gift boxes. Once inside, one finds this repeated in a feature wall behind the service counter.
The interior, despite its modest dimensions, employs several features that create the impression of a larger space.
The elongated form of the counter where guests may sit for a coffee or cake gives the impression of additional length.
A step up in the ceiling, along with a corresponding division in the floor, distinguish the service area whilst also creating a sense of opening up as one approaches it.
The wall opposite the service counter curves in such a way that it recedes in the peripheral vision as one faces the counter making the narrow space feel less restrictive.
