The space is for shopping but also for holding events. The concept of the store is space that is changing its view or atmosphere depending on where you are standing, such as caves or limestone caves. At some points the place offers a view to the end of the store, and also it has an area surrounded by the inner partitions. The experience walking through the artificial yet random space would be close to something like walking in nature. The purpose of the design is to offer a new shopping experience that people could see products through strolling in nature. The materials of the partitions are paper tubes that are strong and easy to work with, and moreover, they are using for tubes to roll up cloths. The tubes are layered randomly as to be uneven surfaces and create arch shapes as partition for the store.
This retail store involves using paper tubes; a sustainable, low maintenance, light and easily portable material/object. The designer has repeated and tessellated the object various times, all at different lengths, to form three large dome-like structures inside the space. Customers have the ability to move through these unique forms and interact with them. I like the idea that each 'pod' could be used to categorise certain styles, items or brands, making it easier for customers to navigate through the shop.

London studio 42 architects have created an installation of spiralling black tubes for UK fashion retailer Topshop. The temporary installation in London, which was conceived and built in three weeks, was created to display garments from Topshop's autumn/winter 2011 collection to the press. Twister proposes a spatial configuration built of swirls, swooshes, vortexes and eddys - manifested as a system of hand formed black PVC coated tubes onto which garments can be hung. Visitors are invited to follow the structure as it winds through the room, while encountering concentrations of displayed garments along the way. The black tube also acts to bind the various collections together into one thematic whole. Around the structure sits a second layer of smaller white structures; benches and tables that hold shoes, accessories and makeup displays, as well as acting as seats for visitors.
This structure requires less space than the previous. The long tubes create a sense of flow and movement; this could potentially be a useful mechanism to guide and navigate customers through the shop. I am interested in the way that the designer has produced something that is aesthetically pleasing and also has a functional purpose. I would like to have a main feature in the space that could act as either a shelving or railing unit to hold the clothing.
