Lagardère Travel Retail has recently opened its new ‘The Fashion Gallery’ concept, an 800m2 shop in Vienna International Airport Shopping Plaza Terminal 2 Departure under customs area.

To make this an exceptional and magical, the customer wanted a special design covering an entire wall.

The French and Spanish teams of the Group installed the largest LED wall in Europe at the entrance to The Fashion Gallery. TMM Trison studio is also able to accompany Lagardère Travel Retail and brands in adapting their content to this specific wall.

The video production was created and directed by our partner 3D Mapping Factory. The concept was to trigger an optical illusion by extending the existing boutique seamlessly onto the LED screen wall.
