e2 Creative Day

For our quarterly creative day, the team split into four groups and decided on an activity of their choice for the afternoon. Some went to the Bondi Winter Festival; others sketched along their walk to Manly. The only group who came back with photos were those who visited Cockatoo Island... We suspect the others lost theirs at the pub.

In Shanghai this week, our design of the OPSM Eye Hub received the award for Best Retail Design in Asia Pacific at the Asia Pacific Property Awards.

As the highest scoring design in the retail category, Eye Hub will now take the international stage, representing Asia Pacific at the International Property Awards in London this December. We will compete against winners from Europe, Africa, the Americas and Arabia, for the title of World’s Best in Retail Design.

Chris Beer, CEO of Luxottica APAC and China, announced: “When you take a truly exceptional concept like OPSM Eye Hub - with the focus of providing an equally unique and engaging customer experience, the design of the store is paramount. e2 understood what we wanted to achieve – an in store journey that touched each of the five senses. Through this collaboration, together we have delivered an unparalleled customer experience for the optometry sector.”

The Asia Pacific Property Awards are part of the International Property Awards and known to be the world’s most prestigious property competition. A record number of 21 different countries took part in the Asia Pacific Awards this year.
