Thinking outside the box exhibitions


This particular example is not for furniture exhibitons, but I found it quite inspiring as it is new, and I have not seen anything quite like this out there.

Visit to a Modern Furniture Shop

In order to understand how furniture is displayed in shops and to get the experience of being a customer looking at furniture, I thought it would be useful to actually visit a furniture shop and physically experience what it would feel like. After some research I decided the best shop to visit would be 'The Home Quarter' in Liverpool One.  It sells modern furniture for the modern home.


The displays are arranged in such a way that they can be seen from outside and experiences from inside. The visitor can have contact with the furniture and test it by touching or sitting on it.



False walls are put up to separate the different areas.



In this view I found it interesting that the spaces are divided by a shelf. It still allows light through and a vague view into the next display area.


I found this display interesting as it is raised on a platform. This makes it look more appealing and draws attention to the furniture pieces displayed.

More Bubble Examples

Another example where bubbles are used to represent change are in the Nissan Car Warehouse in Japan.

'We sought to give the pavilion an ever-changing enchanted atmosphere with its many reflected images and to eliminate the tributary relationship between ground and figure represented here by the open space and spheres respectively.'
