Clothes Hangar, the shop below in Auckland for airline staff at Air New Zealand, has recently been completed by designers Gascoigne Associates. The brief was to create a space where staff can choose their uniform and receive advice in a space that embodied Trelise Cooper’s new uniform design direction and the Air New Zealand brand. Gascoigne Associates designers Clark Pritchard and Theresa Ricacho consulted with Saatchi Design Worldwide to ensure the tie in with ‘the common thread’ sub-brand idea and on the design of the wall details, wallpaper and ‘pictures’. The ‘Clothes Hangar’ walls are entirely finished in random patterned ‘V’ grooved panelling. Floors are a washed oak laminate and together they provide the backdrop to the ‘blue’ tube racking, which wraps its way around the shop and into the fitting rooms.
