DESIGN NAME: Scentbon Perfume
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Retail Store
INSPIRATION: Inspired by the pairing of breathing inhales are always followed by the exhaust, and breathing brings sense into our cells. The designers used the two showcase shelves to present human breathing in and breathing out.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The fragrance store in Taipei is owned by two female founders and features a modern design that incorporates the city's history. The iron and wood front door connects the indoor area with the streets outside, and the shop window allows natural light to flow into the store. The iron handles and signboard reflect the light and the branches of the Frangipani tree in the front garden. The store showcases over 240 fragrances on two showcase shelves made of stainless steel, situated in front of the original brick walls. The shelves are see-through, creating a transparent display.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The design changes the way people shop in a fragrance store. In Taiwan the way luxury brand shops are designed often makes shopping for products hard, consumers have to ask for ascents from staff members to reach each item. However, our design gives people more space and more control over how they would like to shop.

The shelves are see-through shelves, and behind the transparent shelves are the original brick walls. Which combines the modern with the history.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The store is located in one of Taipei’s old business districts. The front door is made of iron and wood to connect the modern style design of the indoor area and the streets on the outside.
The store’s shop window captures natural light into the store. The handles and signboard are also made out of a stainless mirror, which reflects lights and the branches of the Frangipani tree in the front garden.
CHALLENGE: The design had to keep the original building but at the same time bringing a new style to the place was challenging.
