New product design contest on desall.com: YSY GROUP, Hidesins and Desall invite you to design a “pop up” display installation for women’s ready-to-wear bags and dedicated to luxury contexts.
YSY GROUP and Hidesins are looking for a “pop up” display installation dedicated to women’s ready-to-wear bags. The installation will be positioned within 5-star luxury hotels, and in particular within tea rooms. Given the specific context of use, and in addition to the installation dedicated to Hidesins bags, designers are requested to design specific table displays for desserts and cakes, in line with the “family feeling” of the entire installation. The goal is to promote the brand, creating a unique, unexpected and engaging space in which hotel guests can take photos to post on their social networks, continuing the experience even at the table as they enjoy a refreshment.
For the correct realisation of your proposals, please take into consideration the following guidelines:
Product typology
You are invited to design a striking “pop up” display installation, capable of attracting the attention of and involving the guests of 5-star luxury hotels. The installation will be composed of a series of aesthetic and functional elements onto which the Hidesins bags will be positioned, and possibly of a series of purely aesthetic/scenographic elements. The installation can also host visual elements (graphics, posters, etc …) for brand communication.
Additionally, you are invited to design standalone displays dedicated to high tea desserts (e.g. cupcakes) that share the style/elements of the exhibition installation. These displays will be brought to the guests’ tables and positioned in the center of the table so that guests can independently help themselves and pick and choose the desired dessert.
All elements of the installation must be functional, easy to assemble, disassemble and transport. The installation will be positioned within areas of different sizes. It is therefore necessary that its elements follow a modular approach that allows for adapting/transforming according to the size and configuration of the exhibition area (for example small/medium/large areas, the center of the room, near a wall, etc.).
Style and colours
The style must be suitable for luxury contexts, in particular tea rooms of 5-star luxury hotels. It must also be visually consistent with the products on display (bags and desserts) and follow the brand aesthetics of Hidesins. You will find the guidelines relating to the style of the Hidesins brand in the material files that can be downloaded from the contest page.
It is important to place the “Hidesins” logo, attached in the material files, on a series of clearly visible surfaces, in particular near the cake displays, so that it can be seen if photographed.
Dimensions
The display installation must allow the placement of at least 5-10 bags, while the cake display must be designed on several levels (at least 2-3 tiers) and contain about 10 cupcakes in total.
Context of Use and Target Audience
The display installation will be placed in indoor luxury contexts, in particular in the tea rooms of 5-star luxury hotels and will cater to the guests of the facilities, typically women between 30 and 50 years old, senior employees, or entrepreneurs.
Materials
Allowed materials are mainly metal, acrylic, glass, marble and other materials consistent with the luxury sector.
Values to communicate
Elegance, refinement, self-confidence and energy.
