Architectural studio X+Living designs the first global flagship store of TOP TOY in Shanghai, adopting a 'gamified design approach' by drawing inspiration from retro gaming aesthetics and modular building blocks.
The store features oversized toy-packaging facades, bold color schemes, and open visual pathways to create an interactive and immersive environment.
Functional zones like IP-themed cafés and brick-building areas mimic gaming quests, reinforcing the interactive experience.
The layout of the store resembles a game map, with interconnected pathways guiding visitors through different sections, creating a multi-dimensional consumer experience.
