Its super slick, futuristic and avant-garde interior is the work of NC Design & Architecture, Ltd ([NCDA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artifact-bar)), who infused the store's design with geometric elements and a [chic crystalline black interior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tom-ford-boutique). The Shine store comprises three main rooms, which feature display platforms and suspended mannequins, describes the designers. A [suspended stairway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toteme-beijing) accented with fluorescent lights leads the customer from the entrance gallery to the upper level, where men's and women's high-end fashions are showcased. The designers, who were also inspired by the Shine store's name, added to the entrance a 7-meter tall glowing structure that mimics the shape of a star. NCDA describes the Shine store's design as showcasing "how the idea of a ‘shining star’ could be translated architecturally into a fashion retail space, creating a visually striking yet highly functional contemporary store." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Geometric Retail Spaces:** The use of geometric elements in retail spaces can create a sleek and contemporary aesthetic. - **Avant-garde Interior Design:** Incorporating unconventional design elements can create a visually stunning store interior that sets a business apart from competitors. - **Suspended Displays and Mannequins:** Suspended displays and mannequins can create an interesting visual element in a retail space and highlight products in a unique way. ### Who This Affects Most - **High-end Fashion Retail:** High-end fashion retailers can benefit from incorporating avant-garde design elements to create a visually stunning store that aligns well with their brand image. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers and architects can specialize in creating unique and visually stunning retail spaces that draw in customers and create a memorable experience. - **Visual Merchandising:** Visual merchandisers can benefit from incorporating suspended displays and mannequins to create an interesting visual element in a retail space and highlight products in a unique way. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tactile Fashion Boutique Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaozhuo.md) - [Geometric Jewelry Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikos-koulis-boutique.md) - [Evocative Mid-Century Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikos-koulis.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Shoe Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-nodaleto-shoe-store.md) - [Red-Hued Store Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/road-to-awe.md) - [Elegantly Minimalist Retail Environments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retail-environment.md) - [Boutique Grocery Makeovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/womens-clothing-boutique.md) - [Lightness-Themed Womenswear Boutiques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-by-one-1.md) - [Futuristic Retail Kinetic Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retail-kinetic-display.md)
