Synthetic Crystal Sculpture for Dior Flagship Store Entrance



Project Context:
A luxury retail flagship store required a statement sculpture at its entrance to enhance brand identity and attract customer attention.

The project was developed for a Dior flagship location, where the installation needed to align with high-end retail standards in both visual impact and material quality.

The design featured a collectible-style figure, executed in crystal-clear material to create a striking and refined presence within the commercial space.
