dongqi Architects designed the Estée Lauder Companies pavilion at the China International Import Expo (CIIE) 2019,which allowed the visitors to experience Estée Lauder Companies’ corporate culture, 13 classic brands operating in China, and new brands that would soon make their debut in China. The pavilion had a total area of ​​420 square meters and a height of 6 meters and used about 2000 5500mm-long acrylic columns with see-through clarity to create a “crystal pavilion”.

Mrs. Estée Lauder believes that every woman can be beautiful, and dongqi materialized her interpretation of beauty as a crystal pavilion as much as possible. The pavilion took the shape of a simple transparent cube that consists of acrylic columns.

The positions of the acrylic columns had been carefully arranged using an algorithm to enable varied refraction at different angles. In this way, the pavilion remained visible to the outside, yet was still inviting with the dreamy atmosphere created by the fantastic optical illusions that filled every super-narrow vertical space between acrylic columns ,thus illustrating the Estée Lauder Companies tonality while attracting visitors.
