BALMAIN | POP UP CONCEPT DESIGN, Visual Merchandising & Experiential Design
North America
Led and directed the full creative development of the Balmain fragrance pop-up, from initial concept ideation to final execution. This immersive in-store experience has been designed to mark the launch of Balmain's very first fragrance collection: "Les Éternels de Balmain", a milestone moment for the fashion house.The objective: create a visually impactful and artistically elevated space that embodies the essence of the brand while captivating customers in-store. The design took inspiration from a deconstructed interpretation of the perfume bottle itself, transforming it into a sculptural installation that adhered to retail constraints (such as maintaining visibility), yet commanded strong presence and visual interest. The material and color palette drew directly from Balmain’s fashion codes: black, white, and gold. Textured white surfaces subtly referenced the perfume bottle’s own materiality, while reflective gold elements added a sense of luxury and sophistication. Custom-designed tables and VM displays were integrated to showcase the full fragrance collection, blending functionality with aesthetic refinement. The campaign visuals were also strategically incorporated, anchoring the space and enhancing brand storytelling. Every angle of the pop-up was carefully considered to ensure a 360-degree experience, artful, immersive, and unmistakably Balmain. The result was a space that not only celebrated the brand’s fragrance debut but also translated its iconic fashion identity into an experiential retail moment. The pop up has been designed to be updatable and adaptable to different campaigns and launches, while maintaining its own identity and iconic design.
