Salomon’s "Shaping New Futures" in Milan is a masterclass in cultural storytelling. Partnering with WE ARE ONA, the brand used a mirrored infinite table and florals frozen in ice to bridge the gap between technical sport and high-concept art. By debuting their adaptive para-athlete gear alongside a curated menu, Salomon proved that the future of retail isn't just about performance, it’s about creating a sensory language that defines the culture of the mountain.

Salomon’s global flagship in Chengdu’s Taikoo Li reimagines outdoor retail as a cultural experience. Blending skiing and trail running, the two-storey space fuses French performance heritage with Eastern imagination through a “Gateway to the Stars” concept. Immersive architecture, layered light, and multisensory touchpoints transform the store into a lifestyle hub, not just a place to shop. A strong example of how future retail becomes experiential, local, and community-drive
