Temporary visual direction lab

Three ways Pista could feel more like a destination.

Same sample inventory, different systems for hierarchy, pace, color, and consumer confidence. This route is unlinked and has no production behavior.

Visual direction A

Editorial / Approachable

Warm, generous, and place-led. Editorial type is a note of character, not a substitute for shopping clarity.

Visual direction B

Modern Commerce

A quiet, photography-first system. Hierarchy comes from scale, spacing, and an assertive product grid—not decoration.
