Taning Lemon Tea

Located in the heart of Box Hill, this project marks S2dio-X’s third collaboration with Taning, a rapidly growing lemon tea beverage brand originating from China. While the overall design direction was developed by Taning’s headquarters design team, S2dio-X was responsible for translating the concept into a fully deliverable outcome — from detailed working drawings through to shopping centre coordination and building permit approval.

The store embraces a bold and youthful visual identity through the use of vibrant yellow feature finishes, illuminated signage, and contrasting dark-toned framing elements that strengthen the brand’s strong street presence. Internally, stainless steel surfaces, textured wall finishes, translucent lighting features, and modular breeze-block detailing combine to create a clean yet playful retail environment that reflects the freshness and energy of the brand.

Despite the compact footprint, the design carefully integrates customer waiting zones, feature lighting, and highly visible service counters to maximise both operational efficiency and customer engagement. The result is a visually striking beverage kiosk that captures Taning’s energetic branding while delivering a refined and buildable retail outcome within a busy shopping centre environment.
