FEBEN IS A LUXURY CLOTHING DESIGNER WHOSE BRAND CONCEPT AND DESIGNS REFLECT HER DISPLACEMENT WITHIN HER IDENTITY AS A WOMEN GROWING UP IN DIFFERENT CULTURES. HER CLOTHING CAN BE DESCRIBED AS ECCENTRIC, TEXTURAL, AND EXPERIMENTAL, ALL OF WHICH INFLUENCED THE DESIGN OF THE SPACE. THIS SPACE INTENDS TO MAKE HER BRAND EVEN MORE INCLUSIVE BY MAKING ROLES IN THE DESIGNER FASHION BUSINESS ACCE S SIBLE TO LOCAL FASHION STUDENTS AND DESIGNERS. THE SPACE CONVERTS BETWEEN A DAY AND NIGHT FUNCTION TO SERVE AS RETAIL AND EXHIBIT SPACE DURING THE DAY AND A RUNWAY EVENT SPACE DURING FIRST FRIDAYS AFTER HOURS.

DURING THE DAY, THE RETAIL FUNCTION CAN BE SEEN AS SOON AS YOU WALK THROUGH THE DOORS. AS YOU WALK TO THE BACK OF HOUSE, YOU PASS THE FITTING ROOMS WHICH INTRODUCE YOU TO THE EXHIBIT SPACE WHERE FEBEN AND A LOCAL DESIGNER’S WORK WILL BE DISPLAYED. DURING THE NIGHT FUNCTION, THE RETAIL SPACE IS CONVERTED INTO A RUNWAY AND THE EXHIBIT SPACE TRANSFORMS INTO A BUSTLING BACKSTAGE AREA WITH HAIR AND MAKEUP STATIONS AS WELL AS ACCESS TO THE KITCHEN FOR REFRESHMENTS FOR WORKERS.

AS THIS WAS A TEAM EFFORT, MY ROLE PRIMARILY SHINES IN THE DESIGN, CONCEPT CREATION, AND RENDERING. I USED PHOTOSHOP TO ADD MATERIALS AND FURNITURE SELECTIONS THAT WERE INSPIRED BY OUR CONCEPT OF “RETREAT”, DESIGNED THE FINAL POSTER, AND HELPED WITH THE OVERALL DESIGN PROCESS.

this table design stems from the concept of natural life cycles, andthe ideathat maybe earth’s materials are not meant to last. the function of the table being to store compost references the woods own tendency to decay over time. the design is inspired by both the technique of layering compost and an hourglass that alludes to the flippable function of the table. when the compost has filled to the top of the table, it can be flipped to access the bottom most decomposed contents.
