Immersive Store Design Featuring Art, Displays, and Activations

Rooted in TUMI’s commitment to purposeful, performance-driven innovation, each element of the flagship’s immersive design—from the sculptural façade to curved LED screens and evocative Journey art installation—seamlessly blends the brand’s signature minimalist luxury with modern architectural aesthetics.

Echoing the sculptural elegance of 19 Degree, the flagship’s bold exterior greets visitors with a cascading metallic panel façade defined by fluid contours. This striking design detail is a nod to the collection’s signature curvature and reflects the brand’s commitment to thoughtful craftsmanship—starting from the outside in. Conveying effortless elegance in motion, refined scenario-based displays showcase the full range of TUMI men’s, women’s 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 TUMI’s innovations in cutting-edge design material technology firsthand.

Unique to the Shanghai flagship is a dedicated art installation space that bridges TUMI’s 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 TUMI’s approach to design. The installation embodies the brand’s belief that travel is not just about where you’re going, but how you move through the world—with clarity, resilience, and meaning.

Malaysia’s Leading Content and Entertainment Company Becomes Third Asia-Pacific Region Company to Join ACE in Recent Months

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE), the world’s leading antipiracy coalition, today welcomed Malaysia-based Astro as its newest member.

By joining ACE, we’re stepping into a larger arena. This collaboration gives us the strength of a global alliance while ensuring local voices and creators are safeguarded. We want to ensure audiences have a better, safer, and more rewarding way to enjoy the content they love.”

Primary school children’s art reveals real-world impact of learning English, new study

A new study from Cambridge shows the diverse motivations young people have for learning English, brought to life through a series of drawings by primary school children from around the world. From chatting to friends and family, landing a great job or even travelling the world, the artwork illustrates the real-world impact of learning English.

SINGAPORE, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A series of 85 drawings by a group of 6–11-year-olds from schools across Italy, Türkiye and Vietnam has helped inform a new impact evaluation study on learning English in primary settings from Cambridge University Press & Assessment. The drawings offer a unique insight into how young people perceive the impact and opportunities of learning English.

Dr Brigita Séguis, Head of Impact Evaluation at Cambridge University Press & Assessment, said the artwork helped to bring out the voices of young learners, which can sometimes be overlooked.

“It was fascinating to see students illustrating themselves using English outside the classroom in familiar situations,” commented Dr Séguis. She continued: They drew social situations such as traveling abroad and interacting with hotel receptionists, chatting to friends and family, and even predicting their future job prospects. We also saw young children drawing animals talking to each other in English which demonstrated how they are beginning to construct their linguistic identity. These drawings are fantastic because they reveal how learners internalise the value of English and their evolving understanding of English as a tool for real-world communication.”

The study also incorporated traditional data collection methods such as teacher questionnaires, focus groups, interviews, and classroom observations. It helped inform a wider impact study which showed the positive impact of teaching and learning English using Kid’s Box New Generation—a widely recognised course for young English learners. One of the key findings from the study was that 81% of teachers thought Kids Box New Generation helped them create a positive and effective learning environment in the classroom. 

Dr Aynur Karakoç, Senior Impact Evaluator, added she was surprised to see future career opportunities already firmly on the minds of young learners. 

“It was also lovely to hear that children were already thinking about how English will help them get jobs in the future. We saw lots of examples of students motivated by career prospects which was surprising considering their age, but very encouraging to hear.”
