TAGS: Trade, Hong Kong, Lifestyle, Expo, Boutique, Space, HKTDC, Design, Organiser, Malaysia, Market RESEARCH ABSTRACT: After researching the Malaysian market, questions were asked on what aspect of an aspirational lifestyle in Hong Kong can attract the local consumer? Then, by scrutinising an unique status of Hong Kong, advantage was taken on its status as the original east meets west destination. This was applied to the design by mixing western influenced architecture décor with an eclectic collection of Hong Kong designed products and images to formulate an engaging experience journey for the visitor. CHALLENGE: The first challenge was finding a formula to reflect Hong Kong as lifestyle trendsetter of Asia to the local Malaysian market. After analysing and understanding an aspirational aspects of Hong Kong to a story telling approach to the expo was formulated towards the local Malaysian audience. The second challenge was due to many restrictions set by the venue, making it difficult to create visual impact. This was resolved by adding a 15m wide LED screen at the entry foyer to tell the Hong Kong story.
