I came across this set of images from a blog that I watch, and thought how much it symbolizes everything that I think is new and ‘cool’ about trends in store design.

Abstract Mannequins vs Rustic Woods vs Vintage Fixture pieces

An example would be the trolley table and the pipe floor fixture on the left in this image with the warm oiled-looking wood and then the gorgeous clothing styled on Abstract mannequins.

You’ll also notice that it has boutique-type  merchandising with most of the clothing at one lower level.  Perfect merchandising by the way.  garments all facing the correct way. Pants coming after the shirts so that they tell a story.   When I start with shirts and end with pants, I’m subliminally telling the customer that all these items ‘go together’.

The other thing that makes this an Gold Medal Award Winner is their attention to promoting the Brand of the Retailer.

Timberland is a very old (1918) company which started with boot making.  They introduced injection-molding technology to the footwear industry, producing one of the first truly waterproof leather boots.

You can see with this design that the Design Company truly understood this.  Have a look at the photos below to see how this was incorporated.

Isn’t this shoe wall amazing?

This store is touchable and approachable!

I show you these photos to engage and inspire you.  When I’m working with a client, it is always about the client, and the message they want to put forward.  Their OWN brand. It doesn’t matter what great ideas I have if they don’t represent you. That is the key!
