Arrow New York store, Noida – India
The customer is bound to feel that the brand has great subtlety and finesse
Basic design of the wall panels has been inspired from the N/Y buildings glass window panes by doing away with channels and slat wall. More of ceiling and floor has been used for the fixture placement to make the store more dynamic giving the option to transpose the floor units means that a variety of display configurations are now possible in accordance with the requirements of the merchandise.
By creating drama through powerful visual merchandising statements and impactful use of backlit visual in the lounge area which looks like a scene in New York City the store always looks fresh and novel. The attention to detail, selected materials and flexible fixture design all form part of the design philosophy. We also have plan to alter the backlit area into a real touch screen in which visual will change according to the mood/ climate outside, for ex. If outside it’s a bright sunny day visual in store will change to a relaxing gentle and soothing interiors of a building for giving the luxury and an element of surprise to the customers.
The most important strategy followed in the store design was to use a fusion of different materials, excellent presentation, and precise communication and use them efficiently to deliver the correct customer experience for the store. Overall, the color palette was kept neutral with Black and white being the main color of the store and focal walls have been created at the center of the stores which are inside lit of which color can be changed according to season colors. Also dark glass used at the straight back of the store makes the store appear finer and open, we deliberately did not add mirror and make it more obvious.
At the center of the store Accessory Display area has been created in which each shelf is lit from inside highlighting the accessories and also it is not a colossal fixture or a display unit in fact it a place to have a more co-ordinated look of ties, belts, socks, shoes etc.. CDU and Nesting tables displayed at the entrance of the store has been made with the interesting combination of material i.e. wood, leather and marble for displaying new arrivals and top highlights of the season.
Façade has been inspired from the famous Brooklyn bridge of New York which has lot of metal and light used, windows has been kept minimalistic, very sharp and stylized. Trial rooms have been made very comfortable and cozy for letting the consumer have his OWN time with merchandise, in the floor of trial room glass is used beneath that is a NY skyline visual making it feel as if NY building are under your feet.

Gummo office by i29, Amsterdam
Traditionally, office projects can cost big bucks, so trying to keep the costs down for a space that isn’t going to be used long is a good idea. Another example of a temporary space is this one from Mode:lina.
The office below uses furniture purchased locally from secondhand shops, online, and items left from their previous space. Once sprayed and placed into the office, everything is placed into position against a white background giving the space a very interesting contrasting look.

Unilever Switzerland Offices
Unilever, has adopted a similar, but more expansive workplace philosophy known as Agile Working - otherwise known as work from anywhere, whenever you want, as long as you get your work done.
Camenzind Evolution helped Unilever develop a workplace in Switzerland that is well-suited to their agile working goals. Camenzind has also completed project for Google in Moscow, Zurich, and Stockholm, as well as for Credit-Swisse.
The design of the switzerland space is meant to give ample room for productivity in all forms; small and large meetings, individual work, collaborative projects, and teleconferencing. Teleconferencing has play an important role in maintaining face-to-face relationships throughout the company’s global workforce.
As with hotdesking, employees in this agile work environment are not assigned specific workstations, which among other benefits can help reduce real estate overhead. In Unilever’s case, by around 40% .
The space’s bright colors and bold patterns give it a vibrant and living feeling, as opposed to many other stoic designs we’ve seen. Some of the conference spaces are adorned with company brands like Ragu, Omo, or Heartbrand, while other spaces are given company mottos for inspiration.
