3D printing is revolutionizing the world of commerce in spectacular ways, expanding the creative and functional horizons of stores. In this world where innovation and aesthetics meet, daring brands like PINKO stand out by redefining the customer experience. Immersed in the heart of a store that transcends conventions, we discover how this technology can transform commercial spaces into true works of art, where every detail tells a unique and immersive story.
A Technological Revolution in Retail
L’3D printing is often seen as a technology reserved for hobbyists or small designers. However, she is now entering the world of fashion and of design on an impressive scale. The PINKO brand, in particular, stands out for using this innovative technology to create unique sales spaces that rival contemporary art.
Located in Fiumicino airport, this store catches the eye with its interior facade made entirely from 3D printed modules. This creative choice makes it possible to give life to a space that resembles a living carpet, where the walls seem to hypnotize with their fascinating depth.
A Design Inspired by Nature and Craftsmanship
The PINKO store is part of a design inspired by iconic swallows of the brand as well as the intricate details of the textile fibers. This concept translates into a “skin» which envelops the entire store, adding visual richness through refined texture.
The walls are made of two sons layers that move from a simple linear structure to a complex swirling pattern. This play of textures and shapes captivates the eye and enriches the visitor experience.
Harmonized Integration of Functionality
The “threads” designed in 3D printing integrate perfectly with the exhibition shelves, ensuring harmony between form and function. Glass display cases highlight the accessories, while the clothing racks echo the color palette of the threads. To enhance the space, a large mirror increases the feeling of space, while adding a touch of elegance.
In addition, programmable luminous glass spheres are integrated into the 3D cladding, creating dynamic light effects that transform the ambience of the store.
An Ecological and Innovative Approach
The complexity of the design required the adoption of an innovative production technique. The prototypes were made by robots which 3D print directly on custom molds. This method ensures precise design control.
Each wall panel is made from PIPG, a polycarbonate made from 70% recycled PET-G, demonstrating PINKO’s commitment to sustainable practices ecological, without compromising on quality.
