Il branding spaziale è una disciplina che colloca l’identità di un marchio all’interno di spazi per creare esperienze per il consumatore. Il branding spaziale trascende il visivo e comporta l’incorporazione di elementi sensoriali e spaziali che influenzano il modo in cui i clienti sperimentano, interagiscono e si collegano con un marchio in un ambiente. Il cosa, il perché e il come del branding spaziale vengono analizzati da questa tesi e affrontati in termini di significato psicologico, economico e culturale ed esaminandone il ruolo come componente centrale delle moderne strategie aziendali. Questo studio offre un progetto dal vivo intrapreso durante il mio tirocinio, ovvero l’interior design e il branding di un ristorante giapponese. Il progetto segue l’intero processo di progettazione, dalla creazione di un’identità di marca all’effettiva esecuzione dello spazio del ristorante, dimostrando come il branding spaziale strategico influenzi la percezione del consumatore e le prestazioni aziendali. Gli aspetti principali del progetto includono lo sviluppo del concetto, la selezione dei materiali, la pianificazione del pavimento e le decisioni di progettazione che riflettono le aspirazioni culturali e aziendali del ristorante. Lo studio stabilisce come il branding spaziale sia al centro della narrazione, coinvolgimento dei consumatori e differenziazione in un mercato saturato. Nel valutare l’efficacia del progetto, questa tesi contribuisce al crescente corpo di ricerca sul branding spaziale e rafforza il suo valore nel settore della ristorazione e oltre. In definitiva, questo studio esplora il valore del branding spaziale come strumento valido per le aziende per costruire una presenza di mercato unica, coltivare l’identità del marchio per migliorare le esperienze dei consumatori.
