Feature: Feature: #BewareOfColour The Future of Shopping cheerful, extroverted, even slightly erotic. That is why the colour matches emotionally with clothing and shoes; the fragrance reflects the shopping experience. The scent for the “Green Point” Façade gets, as you would expect, a ‘green’ colour connotation. Here, spicy and fresh flavours, such as mint or lime, result in a healthy and ‘green’ fragrant combination. The Leather Façade spreads a fine, exclusive fragrance, based on a potpourri of dark colours (red, brown, turquoise, mustard yellow and purple). In the Home of 5 Senses the fragrance also corresponds with the music. Together with Julian Treasure, owner of the British Sound Agency, an audio background was designed which accompanies the respective odour experiences. Here again, the Highlight Façades serve as a platform for a sensory stimulating soundscape: nature sounds such as the rustling of leaves or birdsongs emanate from the ‘Green Point’, and switch to spherical sounds around the ‘Frame Yourself’ Façade up to a symphony of glass sounds from the direction of the ‘Glamour Walk’. The ‘Noble Sensation’ Façade is designed deliberately silent with the aim that the visitor experiences the tranquillity intensely. By its multi-sensory design and the overall interior architecture, this mall sets new standards as a brand and shopping experience. A first ‘sensual’ foretaste of this shopping future, the ‘Home of 5 Senses ‘ can be experienced for anyone interested in the showroom near the construction site, designed and implemented by kplus konzept.
