HOW WOULD THESE PRODUCTS IMPROVE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THESE COMMUNITIES?
Through traditional dances: way to communicate freedom- movement- the need to be free
Art-sculptures: the need to be heard
Handmade items: the need to be seen and acknowledged
Biomusic and Yogalu will create an amazing and captivating experience to motivatecustomers to come back.
The concept revolves around our need for freedom.
This facility will fill the Design District with interesting Haitianculture by mostly selling handmadeproducts made inside. The design will be a mix of contemporary, minimalist, and bohemian styles. The softcolor palette will merge with the environment to elevate the products and the customer experience.
Bringing my 3 words for the concept in one conceptual model. This model is more about feeling where your hands travel in the curves rather than just how it looks. The idea is to show inclusivity and free and organic movements.
