STUDY TRIP TO REXKL AND BOOKXCESS AT LALAPORT

On 23rd January 2025, students from the Diploma in Interior Design set off on an exciting study trip to REXKL and BookXcess at Lalaport. The visit was a hands-on exploration of how design shapes the way people experience retail environments.

From the vibrant, repurposed charm of REXKL to the immersive layout of BookXcess, students discovered how spatial design influences customer engagement. Lok Ying Ming shared, “Visiting REXKL and BookXcess was an eye-opening experience. It allowed me to see how retail spaces are designed not just for aesthetic appeal, but to enhance the user experience.” Lee Chee Yen added, “Seeing real-world applications of interior design has given me a deeper understanding of how to create functional and engaging spaces.”

The trip left students inspired, offering fresh ideas for their final studio projects. By stepping beyond the classroom, they got a taste of how creativity and functionality come together in real-world design, an experience that will shape their future projects and careers.
