THE WORLD OF TRAVEL RETAIL DESIGN AT
DUBAI AIRPORT OUTLETS
Le Clos, Draft-House, Voss Bar, Masale
BRIEF
Airports have come a long way, from being just a necessary stage in a journey to becoming vibrant retail destinations offering luxury brands, high-end food and beverage options, and health and beauty services.
Today’s travelers are extremely astute and demanding on price, quality and experience. As the major gateways to cities and countries, airports have a duty – and an incredible opportunity – to present an authentic and memorable ‘sense of place’ – exclusive environments and experiences that convince travelers that, right now, this airport is a great place to be…
SOLUTIONS
Our strength in travel retail design lies in its ability to shape ‘sense of place’ experiences for time-conscious travellers. Since 2009, we have been instrumental in helping some of the world’s leading operators international brands and regional champions, to differentiate themselves. We have successfully won concession bids and created concepts and experiences, for several retail and F&B outlets in airports across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and USA.
Dubai International Airport is the world busiest airport by international passenger traffic, with over 80 million international travelers a year. The airport is a key component of Brand Dubai – a destination focused on creating memorable retail, leisure and dining experiences. ODG works closely with international, regional and local retail and F&B outlets to win concession bids, create remarkable concepts, and deliver on design-development and execution follow-up at this dynamic and fast growing airport.
RESULTS
From the creation of an unusual Italian pizzeria and the development of a fine wines and spirits retail experience, to the design of a sports bar and the implementation and activation of an Indian street food concept, we have ensured that each unique outlet draws attention, drives footfall and gains conversion at Dubai International Airport. With strong experience in the airport’s environment-specifications, rules and regulations, our technical team has handled and overseen the projects from airport approval stage to opening.
LE CLOS Terminal 1, Concourse D
Le Clos is a retailer of the finest wines and luxury spirits. True to its product offering,
its name means a closed vineyard surrounded by walls to protect the precious grapes and assemblage secrets – a symbol of prestige, expertise and privacy.
While retaining the current customer base by conveying the values and USP of Le Clos, the store design and experience needed to evolve from a closed concept to a more approachable and engaging environment in order to drive footfall and recruit novices and passers by.
The concept created by ODG opens up Le Clos with a ‘made by connoisseurs, meant for all’ twist. Travellers in Concourse D are invited to enjoy the warm hospitality of Le Clos – a mansion, surrounded by lavish grapevines, but whose doors always welcome guests. A place that’s exquisite yet vibrant, down-to-earth, approachable and hospitable.
