Luxury Tester Units

A travel-inspired retail experience designed to evoke a sense of place, transforming product discovery into a memorable consumer journey

Project Overview

Objective: Create a scalable tester unit for Estée Lauder Travel Retail's Travel Exclusive sets that translated the spirit of travel into an elevated retail experience. Inspired by the feeling of looking through airplane windows during flight, the objective was to create a strong sense of place and discovery while giving exclusive sets a distinctive destination within the retail environment.

Scope included concept development of a bespoke tester experience from initial ideation through final execution, including fixture design, visual merchandising strategy, rendering refinement, material direction, and cross-functional collaboration to bring the concept to life.

Concept to Execution
