A few months ago, Creaction Design Group completed the installation of Sisley Cosmetics’ flagship corner at Bloomingdale’s. But as the fixtures were being manufactured, guidelines had changed and Bloomingdale’s authorized the brands in the center of B’Way to extend the dressing of the columns from 66″ to 102″, giving greater visibility from the aisles of the cosmetics department.
As Creaction went back to the drawing board, we worked closely with Sisley Cosmetics to make the best use of this unique opportunity to increase the visibility of the flagship corner. Our main goal was to create a design seamlessly integrated with the existing fixtures, something that wouldn’t look like an addition but would enhance significantly the visibility of the corner.
The result: two column extensions in lacquered wood with cut-out logos and acrylic panels engraved with Sisley’s inimitable family shield and orchid, lit up by colored LEDs from JESCO Lighting. A fine combination that crowns elegantly Sisley’s flagship corner at Bloomingdale’s.
Manufactured in Miami by Creaction Design Group, the column extensions represented a technical challenge that required an in-depth engineering study to integrate the shape and lights in the limited space available around the existing columns. The solution chosen relies on the combination of a metallic structure (used as a cantilever) and carpentry to support the weight of the columns.
