The thirtieth-anniversary gala already happened — 18 March 2026, Wenzhou's Jiangxinyu isle: two generations of ambassadors, Ren Dahua and Wu Lei, arriving by boat under the theme "Thirty Years Together, A Joyful Future", and the 1-3-5 strategy announced to 2035. What the tour must do now is carry that ceremony out of the island and into shopping districts nationwide.

03 · CONCEPT
The whole proposal is one metaphor kept literal: a commercial aircraft, dismantled into its parts, each part carrying exactly one brand statement.
The brand's thrust — the turbine is the luminaire; light issues from the engine.
The leader's poise — the nose is the hero visual of the space.
Private, bespoke experience — the Bombardier cabin stands for the atelier.
The ever-turning belt marks a creativity that never stops shipping new work.
Low-glare brushed steel as the dominant material — courage and appetite for the future.
Porthole light-films refract daylight — technology and nature in accord, the zero-carbon resolve.
The ART bay — fifteen consecutive years of the New Force art fund, on display.
Seatbelt clips repurposed as the hanging rail — future-proof and playful at once.
Seven render series follow — Series 1 to 7, each an independent drawing set of the same aircraft. The final direction is filed as Series 7-1.
04 · THE SEVEN SERIES
Sixty final renders in seven independent series — every set published in full, uncropped, at its native widescreen ratio.
The tour opens as boarding: an iridescent pink-violet wing canopy floats over the floor, garments hung beneath the wing, luggage nets and a boarding ramp setting the scale.Board first, then shop: the flight begins the moment visitors step onto the ramp.
Engine cowlings hang like chandeliers; a conveyor chain carries bolt-blue fabric through iridescent workstations — the making of a suit, staged as an assembly hangar.Thirty operations, one flying suit — the hangar makes the craft itself the exhibit.
A transparent airship fuselage crosses the hall; illuminated porthole counters carry the SAINT ANGELO mark, mannequins standing guard at both wings.Made-to-measure reads as navigation: every client arrives at a precise coordinate.
Brushed-aluminium cabin walls with glowing portholes and the flying-bird mark; suits hung along the fuselage — the thirtieth-anniversary bay at full span.Twelve drawings give the thirtieth-anniversary bay its complete panorama.
Crystal capsule pods ring a glowing violet 「30」core; dresses hang inside the transparent cabin walls — the high point of the celebration.The high point of the celebration — and the strongest photo point on the floor.
Fuselage skin arches layer into a tunnel; signage rings the flow — custom suit / Business / Wedding — around a central fitting pod, the boarding screen reading Press Forward in Gladness.The boarding screen reads the theme aloud: Press Forward in Gladness.
A warm timber cabin with flight-display screens, red-carpet porthole vitrines and the 30 mark throughout — the journey closes where the next thirty years begin. Final direction, filed as Series 7-1.Fifteen drawings close the journey at the departure lounge of the next thirty years. Final direction, filed as Series 7-1.
