A flight of imagination in the heart of the shopping centre

Context

Cloche d’Or shopping centre in Luxembourg wanted to bring a dedicated play space into the shopping mall. The design brief set a 60 cm limit for play modules and sought to evoke the sky as seen from an aircraft. Installed by May 2019, "In the Sky" places children’s play alongside the shops, with seating for accompanying adults within the same setting.

Our vision

‍

We imagined a journey aboard Cloche d’Or Airlines. A cockpit and pilot seats anchor the scene, while mirrored fuselage panels with window openings reflect the children and the mall around them. Blue flooring traced with clouds links the stepping domes to a yellow-sided ramp. A ground-level maze and a crew photo point extend the story, combining physical play, reflection and make-believe.

Features

Children can become pilots, follow the lines on the floor, step from dome to dome and climb over the ramp. The different elements invite them to test their balance and coordinate their movements, while mirrors and window openings encourage playful interactions. The cockpit gives friends a shared starting point for imaginary journeys. Adults can take a seat nearby during the shopping break.

‍

The installation gives the mall a distinctive family stopping point, with an aviation theme carrying the centre’s name. Play and accompanying adults’ seating are brought together within one elongated layout. The aim is to make a shopping visit more enjoyable for families and create a memorable experience that encourages them to return.
