BOOTH EXBITION XENIA
ATHENS STYPALAIA, GREECE | 2020
The proposal concerns the design of an exhibition stand, a company of plumbing fixtures, tiles, and accessories for the exhibition Xenia.
The central idea of the design was based on presenting the company's products in a different way and with a theatrical approach, combining senses with knowledge.
The booth stands out for its architectural point of view where new products will be introduced creating new trends in the market. Symmetry, high quality, design, modern solutions are just some of the features that visitors will find.
Selected materials to evoke pleasures, setting new architectural standards.
The central entrance was designed from the front and bathrooms were created on both sides.
A three-dimensional frame was made on the facade of the stand and the color chosen was white. A minimal shade that brings calm, simplicity and highlights to the materials on it.
Large wall tiles were installed on the wall and a corridor was created on the floor and free tiles were placed on the lawn.
At the bottom of the booth dominates the large white wall with recesses and hidden lighting. Theatrical play with lighting and shadows created. On the wall, ceramic tiles were mounted on a 1.00 x 1.00 laminate framed by an anthracite metal frame. The aim was to give the tiles a sense of art.
Tiles in various dimensions were placed on the inner sides of the stand. On the right inner side was placed a lacquered white F-shaped furniture for the customer reception area and a two-level white lacquered furniture with rounded ends at both ends. On it were placed table sinks and batteries.
A narrow wall was found where the firefly nest was found with climbing plants giving color and a sense of vertical wall.
On the left side was a table-table made of irregular chestnut trunk in its natural color and two bench-stool seats of the same color, to accommodate the visitors of the stand.
On the left outer side, a recess and a narrow aperture with hidden illumination were created. A recessed shower room was developed and a large-size furniture made of wood and metal frame was installed. Above it was a round table sink with accessories, a large round mirror and framed by a handmade cement lamp. Large tiles were placed on the back of the wall and behind the furniture.
On the right outer side were a recess and a narrow aperture with hidden illumination. A large tile was placed between the recess and the aperture. A recessed shower was installed and a recessed basin was created.
In the finishes of the exterior masonry walls at an altitude of 2.80m, irregular chestnut trees were placed in their natural color giving the feeling of a pergola. On the wood were placed lamps and ivy plants hanging in different lengths, creating a natural backdrop.
The lighting selected was 4,000K with fixtures placed at specific locations to purposefully illuminate the products. Narrow beams and light bulbs create a theatrical setting. In the central lobby, led lights were chosen to be mounted on a rail, targeting the walls with their materials, furniture and white matte floors. The three-dimensional picture frame was fitted with removable spotlights and a narrow beam to illuminate the two walls and the floor of the entrance.
