Strong storytelling and an immersive experience were at the core of our concept when designing the UK Pavilion for the CIFTIS 2023 exhibition stand. Although our design was not selected, we firmly believe it serves as an excellent example of how to lead visitors through a mesmerizing journey of immersive exploration into the “Architecture of the Future” while showcasing various UK sectors and excellence. Guided by the message “See Things Differently,” we’ve woven together a tapestry of inspiration to transport guests into a realm where innovation meets imagination. By creating an environment that immerses attendees in the heart of the UK’s story, immersive design fosters a deeper connection and leaves a lasting impression.

At the heart of our concept, visitors encounter a breathtaking panorama—a dazzling fusion of iconic UK architectural marvels. Here, they witness the physical manifestations of progress and the intricate web of thoughts, information, and services that underpin our modern world.

Standing as the centerpiece of this awe-inspiring landscape is a tribute to the ageless essence of progress—an abstract structure inspired by an ancient UK landmark. However, here, it’s reimagined as a masterpiece of dynamic design. The color-changing columns transform into a mesmerizing abstract composition, symbolizing the ever-shifting nature of progress itself.

As guests explore further, they’ll be surrounded by translucent, abstract architectural shapes that offer a glimpse into the future. These shapes symbolize the trajectory of state-of-the-art sectors, digitalization, futuristic cities, and the global pathways paved by UK companies, products, and services. Each sector possesses its set of shapes, which are also transparent LED screens. The intricate interplay between these shapes and the central structure creates a seamless blend of form and function.


The immersive event area offers an exciting opportunity for guests to experience the best that the UK can offer through VR glasses, headsets, and touchscreens. An immersive art wall displays animated contemporary UK artworks or can be individually controlled via VR equipment for events.



Branding is an integral part of the experience. Illuminated logos, acrylic panels, and LED screens serve as dynamic canvases that narrate compelling stories.


In this combination of inspiration and immersive experience, 5 Star Plus Retail Design redefines the very essence of exhibition design. Such experiences not only enhance brand recognition but also provide an opportunity to convey complex information in a memorable and accessible manner. In an increasingly competitive marketplace, the ability to forge emotional connections through immersive design is a strategic advantage that can significantly impact a brand’s success in the exhibition field.
