Immersive Store Design Featuring Art, Displays, and Activations
Rooted in TUMIs commitment to purposeful, performance-driven innovation, each element of the flagships immersive design-from the sculptural faade to curved LED screens and evocative Journey art installation-seamlessly blends the brands signature minimalist luxury with modern architectural aesthetics.
Echoing the sculptural elegance of 19 Degree, the flagships bold exterior greets visitors with a cascading metallic panel faade defined by fluid contours. This striking design detail is a nod to the collections signature curvature and reflects the brands commitment to thoughtful craftsmanship-starting from the outside in. Conveying effortless elegance in motion, refined scenario-based displays showcase the full range of TUMI mens, womens and travel accessories throughout thoughtfully designed spaces. A distinctive open-concept VIP area presents meticulously curated premium travel and luggage offerings, while clients can visit the interactive materials wall to experience TUMIs innovations in cutting-edge design material technology firsthand.
Unique to the Shanghai flagship is a dedicated art installation space that bridges TUMIs design philosophy and local artisan culture. Rooted in respect for material integrity and purposeful craftsmanship, the debut work, Journey, was created from bamboo by renowned contemporary artist Xu Fei. Exploring the intersection of movement, intention, and form, Journey draws on the ancient Chinese cosmological concept of round heaven and square earth-a balance of fluidity and grounding that echoes TUMIs approach to design. The installation embodies the brands belief that travel is not just about where youre going, but how you move through the world-with clarity, resilience, and meaning.

Star Wars Legend Harrison Ford Says He Has No Plans To Retire: 'They Need Old People…'
Harrison Ford has revealed that he has no intention of retiring. Harrison Ford doesn't have any plans to retire. The 83-year-old star believes actors are fortunate in that there's no strict time limit on their working life. Asked if he'll ever retire, Harrison told Variety, 'No. That's one of the things I thought was attractive about the job of an actor, was that they need old people, too, to play old people's parts." Harrison has worked with some of the biggest names in the movie industry – including Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola – during the course of his career. And the Hollywood icon feels fortunate to have worked through the 70s and 80s, too. He said, 'You're talking about a very exciting time in the movie business. In the late '70s and through the '80s, there was this group of young filmmakers, all of them wildly independent, both in spirit and in mind, who wanted to make their own films their own way, and they all burst upon the scene at much the same time. I was very lucky to lump in with those guys because I was of a youthful age. But I never expected to be anything more than a character actor. I never wanted to be anything more than somebody that made a living as an actor." Harrison played Han Solo in the Star Wars franchise, but he wasn't sure whether the original film would lead to a sequel. The veteran movie star explained, 'I didn't really know whether there was going to be another film when we started, and because I didn't know whether there would be another film — and because I only had the script from the first one to consider — I didn't sign the sequel deal, which turned out to be to all of our advantage." Harrison also played the titular character in the Indiana Jones franchise, and the actor was always convinced that the first film would become a huge success. Asked how he felt reprising the character for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Harrison explained, 'I wanted to see him as an older man facing the consequences of the life that he had lived. But I couldn't imagine that we were going to end up doing five of them. I didn't expect success. In the movie business, you always go in wanting to be successful, but you don't always expect to be. 'I did expect the first film would be wildly successful. I read it very quickly, one time. I'd been asked by George Lucas to go and meet Steven Spielberg, who I didn't know, and he sent me a script to read. I thought it was great. And then I went to meet Steven, we spent about an hour together and suddenly I had a job." First Published: July 31, 2025, 14:58 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
