Design Challenge

While using innovative materials like thermoformed Corian to achieve seamless, organic curves. Realizing this ambitious design within a tight deadline presented significant challenges, as the space was conceived as a permanent fixture that needed to accommodate multiple brands while maintaining a cohesive, luxurious feel. Thermoforming Corian was particularly complex, requiring precise heating and shaping to achieve smooth, flowing forms without compromising durability or finish. Despite these technical hurdles, the design team ensured the material reflected the elegance and refinement of the whiskey-making process. The store’s vision also had to balance tradition with inclusivity. While South Korea’s whiskey market has historically been dominated by older men, the space was designed to attract a broader audience. By combining timeless craftsmanship with modern luxury, the store offers an immersive experience that resonates with both seasoned enthusiasts and new consumers. It successfully unifies multiple brands under one cohesive, high-end environment, setting a new standard for whiskey retail.

Project Duration

4 months from start to finish. London design 1 month Dubai for researching production 1 month South Korea for build in April 2024 2 months

Operation Flow

As you enter, the design naturally guides you on a journey, where every curve and surface feels intentional and welcoming. The flow of the space is inspired by the movement of water, creating a sense of calmness as you explore. The sculptural walls, crafted from seamless Corian, curve gently around the space, drawing you in with their organic shapes. It’s like walking through a living sculpture, each turn offers a new perspective, revealing products in an ever-evolving way, much like the way light plays across the surface of water.

Research

The design of Diageo’s flagship store at Incheon Airport is deeply inspired by the materials, processes, and traditions of whiskey making. Drawing from the iconic craftsmanship of Scottish distilleries, the concept reflects the beauty of copper stills, the flowing nature of liquid, and the rich heritage behind whiskey production. Copper’s warmth and natural patina were central to the inspiration, symbolizing both tradition and timeless elegance. The organic, curved shapes of the space are influenced by the fluidity of whiskey itself, it's smooth movement and the way it interacts with glass and stone. This idea of liquid shaping stone became a key metaphor, leading to the exploration of materials that could replicate the visual and tactile qualities of something softened and sculpted by liquid over time. Additionally, the design reflects the luxurious essence of Diageo’s portfolio by emphasizing sensory richness. The interplay of light and shadow, inspired by the way whiskey catches and refracts light, became a core conceptual driver. The vision was to evoke the feeling of immersion within a premium whiskey making process, creating a connection between the materials and the heritage of the craft. Every choice, from the curved forms to the material finishes, aimed to mirror the elegance, refinement, and depth of the whiskey experience itself.
