The angular retail space showcases shoes on grid-like structural elements that serve as a spatial focal point while providing convenient product storage. Located in the heart of Istanbul, Turkey, the [pop-up shoe shop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/el-departamento) features a [modular shelving system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shift-space) that mixes horizontal, vertical and angled framing. Shaped to resemble the letter 'a,' these movable and transformable wood-constructed units provide multiple storage solutions that can be easily changed according to a variety of user needs. Designer Yeşim Bakırküre of Ypsilon Tasarim repeats these visually striking geometric elements giving the Artizen Shop a memorable look that is both distinctive in its look and purposeful in its concept. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Geometric Design:** Exploring geometric design concepts in retail spaces can create a visually striking and unique atmosphere. - **Modular Shelving:** Implementing modular shelving systems allows for easy customization and adaptability in retail spaces. - **Spatial Focal Point:** Using grid-like structural elements as a spatial focal point can draw attention and enhance product display in retail environments. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Retail Design:** The retail design industry can leverage geometric design and modular shelving to create innovative and visually appealing store concepts. - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture manufacturers can explore the production of modular shelving systems for customizable retail spaces. - **Visual Merchandising:** Visual merchandising professionals can utilize grid-like structural elements to create eye-catching spatial focal points in retail environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gridded Immersive Retail Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ekata-banaras.md) - [Steel Lighting Grid Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miss-sixty-store.md) - [Various Textural Homeware Boutiques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/estilio.md) - [Demountable Wooden Retail Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/present-correct1.md) - [Dynamic Organic Store Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-manso.md) - [Elegantly Minimalist Retail Environments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retail-environment.md) - [Gallery-Like Retail Floors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/globus-basel.md) - [Sustainable Retail Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sheep-inc-london.md) - [Zen-Like Shopping Malls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenlike-shopping-mall.md)
