Overview
For Rimowa's expansion into the digital realm, we conceptualized an immersive Vision Pro experience that aligns with the brand's luxury travel ethos. I led the creative direction, concept development, and visual narrative imagining a future where technology dissolves into experience, and spatial design becomes a medium for emotional connection, not just interaction - while always highlighting the craftsmanship.
Visual Exection
Created a design system using bold negative space, sleek typography, and crisp, minimal UI patterns. Hero animations featured luggage in dreamlike motion floating against clean monochrome backdrops with city taglines and ambient sound cues.
Creative Strategy
The strategy focused on translating Rimowa's physical craftsmanship into a virtual environment, offering users a premium, interactive experience.
Built around the tension between utility and luxury. Explored motion as metaphor, gliding, floating, lifting to reflect the smooth, elevated travel experience. Tone was understated, luxe design, and editorial in nature.
Storyboard
A curated visual study exploring the materiality, emotion, and elevated interaction language that shaped the experience vision.
Moments:
Cinematic opening invites users into a calm, editorially paced brand world
Products emerge like sculptures revealed through motion, proximity, and story cues
Movement and gaze feel intuitive, part of the emotional arc rather than mechanical triggers
A spatial soundtrack responds dynamically to user presence, deepening immersionCommerce becomes a narrative layer not a destination woven seamlessly into exploration and craftsmanship behind the product
