THESIS INCUBATOR STUDIO 2020 - Politecnico di Milano & CLEAF. Thesis Laura Magistrale 110L

The challenge today for young designers is to reinterpret culture and bring back to contemporary environments. Colombia is selected as an international culture due to its multi-cultural wealth developing a project called RELIEVE TROPICAL, a project which explores Colombian identity and creates a new surface applying it towards a contemporary retail scenario.

The project consisted on three phases: the research mainly focus in surfaces and thermal floors of Colombia, the development of a design concept where the juxtaposition of Color, Texture, Pattern with the thermal floors creates a range of proposals of decorative papers assisted by Cleaf as part of the internship, and the implementation of them in contemporary interior space dedicated to a retail experience, which as final result the project introduce a visual, tactile, emotional surface and express a unique perception of Colombian identity into space.
