Designers faced the challenge of creating a contemporary
brand identity for a 20-year-old luxury resort’s
first retail venture. They used materials indigenous
to Canyon Ranch’s Southwest desert to create
a calm, peaceful oasis in the middle of a Las Vegas
theme hotel. This new prototype used floating cabinetry;
crisp, modern fixturing with an artisan quality;
and numerous tactile, olfactory, and aural cues
to integrate spa apparel, body products, and educational
material in a long, narrow space.
