The \u201cSyrup\nRoom\u201d design team has given the Bournemouth shopping centre an apocalyptic feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Syrup Room\u2019s<\/a> latest project, in Bournemouth shopping centre comes across to visitors as somewhere from a distant and deserted future. Tendrils of Ivy wind their way up escalators, while walls are covered in dirt and littered with rusty rivets. Lopsided neon signs, broken advertising hoardings and dusty pipes make the place look like the set of a dystopian movie. The way the world would look if our shopping malls were to be reclaimed by nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is\ndesigned to clarify to consumers just how city centres could look in the future\nif the trend towards online trade continues at its current rate. At the same\ntime, this impressive installation is intended to attract customers and give\nthem a reason for visiting the town \u2013 providing a powerful mix of design, satisfying\nthe demand for attention-grabbing shopping experiences and reflecting on\nday-to-day consumer behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
