Post-Completion Review
HABA had built its reputation over more than eighty years, but a new store at MixC World, Shenzhen meant translating that history into a retail language suited to a Chinese shopping mall and a new generation of customers.
Studio X's scope ran from concept design through to construction-site review, working to keep the store recognisably HABA while adapting the brand to a mall retail environment.
The brief extended beyond the single store: Studio X also developed retail guidelines and provided design management to support HABA's wider rollout across future locations.
Studio X's scope ran from concept design through schematic and detail design to construction-site review, alongside a parallel workstream of retail guidelines and design management intended to support HABA as it expands to further locations.
The result, still in progress at MixC World in Shenzhen, is the first application of a retail format built to travel.

I found Studio X via Google Search, and I cannot believe I am lucky to find such a professional design house with expertise in the retail industry. Designing for a brand like HABA, with over 80 years of history and under transformation, is challenging.
Studio X understood the brand very well, and their proposal is just what we need. Studio X is definitely our preferred store design partner in Asia Pacific.
