General introduction
Pursuing the mission of “helping people relive their youth for the second time”, the METAO brand distributes Japanese domestic health and beauty products to the Vietnamese consumer market. Coming to the showroom, customers not only choose a solution to improve their beauty and health, but also receive enthusiastic support and care from the METAO team to restart a new journey of experience.
Brief & Concept
The design should incorporate typical Japanese symbols such as the red circle (representing the Japanese sun) or motifs reminiscent of Japanese culture. At the same time, it should convey a sense of prestige, high class, and professionalism, suitable for health and beauty products.
Style Analysis
The design is inspired by Japanese Zen meditation, bringing natural elements such as spring water, rocks, and green trees into the store's experience space.
