01 / Lincoln of China

An identity. A complete framework.

K5 developed the programming, design manual and architectural prototype package for Lincoln’s entry into China. The facility is considered from street presence to interior detail.

Vehicle display and customer circulation are considered as one continuous interior.
The vehicle is framed as the focal point of the customer visit.
Lighting, facade pattern and signage carry a shared identity into the city.
02 / Lincoln of China

The same Lincoln. A new context.

Materials, hospitality and digital presentation carry the global identity into a setting shaped around local operational and cultural requirements.

Hospitality settings bring a more personal scale to the showroom.
Digital presentation sits alongside material and merchandise displays.
A quieter lounge creates a different pace within the dealership.
You found Einstein.

A little brilliance.
A little mischief.

K5’s Einstein character working on a laptop

Einstein has a small but spirited place in the K5 world. For us, he stands for a simple idea: have fun while being brilliant.

Ask the unexpected question. Make a new connection. Enjoy figuring it out. That spirit belongs in the work, too.

The wild hair is optional.
