Overview

In autumn 2025, FLIP Studio again designed a recyclable large-scale pop-up installation — the "Lanxi Pavilion" (息岚亭) — for womenswear brand SANI. Starting from the brand's spirit of "light interpretation, naturally different", the design takes bamboo from the classical quartet and the mountain mist (岚) of the forest, combining Lingnan-flavoured bamboo with a soft, youthful inflatable membrane to translate the collection's comfort into an abstract bamboo-grove atmosphere. On an 8×10m site, a Voronoi grid divides the plan into 16 polygons in 8 diagonally symmetric pairs; bamboo-steel columns rise at the grid nodes, hanging rods and yellow fabric enclose the space, and the two central polygons house the cashier and fitting-room modules — a U-shaped circulation creating a retail experience like wandering through a bamboo forest.
