Lookback at 2022

Here’s a look back at some of our exciting projects throughout 2022. It was an exciting year working with the various teams from Diffney menswear to Dromoland Castle. Looking forward now and focusing on 2023!

Crystal Clear

The long-established jewellery retailer Crystal Jewellers in Blanchardstown Centre has been revamped by Store Design.

3D Renders

3D Renders are an essential tool in the process of creating retail furniture displays and environments. The renders are key to promoting visual appeal and creating realistic views for analysis by designers to affirm their design intent. Retailers also can form a view on stock and presentation and merchandisers can make suggestions to engage the end user.

This analysis helps reduce costs, eliminate wastage and deliver a targeted retail presentation.

Lighting and branding can also be analysed in the same fashion.

Here are some merchandised renders of upcoming projects rendered by the very adept Thais Rezende from our design office.

Pure White

These white centre floor units are ready to roll out. The colour white brings to mind purity, modernity and lightness.  The colour white is also a perfect background for product display for Newbridge Silverware.

Furthermore, the retail offer needs to showcase a mix of high quality products directed at their tourist and home market.

Retail Industry Productivity Review

The Retail Excellence Ireland 4th Quarter Review 2012 indicated a slight upturn in retail sales by +0.21%.

One of the better performing retail industry sectors during the fourth quarter was the Home & Giftware sector increasing sales levels compared with the fourth quarter in 2011. Overall performance in the following sectors Furniture & Flooring, Ladies Fashions, and Pharmacy was down slightly.

November proved to be the most challenging month of the quarter. Pre-budget speculation in October, which caused a decrease in consumer sentiment, is the main reason for this.

Speaking at the publication of the Q4 2012 retail figures, REI Chief Executive Officer, David Fitzsimons, said: “The slight increase in retail sales during Q4 2012 is very welcome, however, the sector still remains fragile.

Go to www.retailexcellence.ie for the full report.

Euro Shop 2011

Euro Shop 2011

Every three years there is a major shopfitting and exhibitions trade show which is held in the enormous Messe in Dusseldorf, Germany. Exhibitors from all around the world pair up with shopfitters and exhibition contractors for what is the biggest event in the Industry and at which all the latest innovations are unveiled in what is effectively a shop fittings shop. Anyone who has anything to do with shopfitting will be there. Declan and I attended for the 8th and 9th time respectively and still there were great surprises.

Lighting

The overwhelming point of interest was in lighting and in particular LED lighting. This is being incorporated now into shelves, rails, furniture, aside completely from the mainstream application of general and spotlighting. All the mainstream lighting manufacturers were holding workshops on this development and how it compares with metal halide, fluorescent, and halogen lighting. I suppose the bottom line is that while certain areas such as display cases have benefited greatly from this technology. The cost and consumption of the technology are on par with the other traditional technologies but the breakthrough for LED is not that far away and it will soon be the leading technology in that sector.

Trends

In the area of retail shopfitting, there were no earth-shattering developments. The major shop fittings shops downplayed the equipment aspects of their businesses with the word “concept” being constantly used to put the focus more on design and away from mechanics. The fact of the matter is that the astonishing level of presence from Eastern manufacturers has attracted the attention of those in the trade, both retailers and shopfitters, who are mainly interested in value. The quality level has advanced in leaps and bounds with the Western suppliers now taking the photographs!!

Some interesting products we came across were –

Vinyl backing materials in very attractive patterns and finishes

High Gloss and textured surfaces

Aroma machines

Window display props from Italy

A number of products for Jewellery and gifts – keyless counter locking systems, solar turntables, watch security products

In-store displays controlled by microchips that will display information on a screen for whichever product you handle

Forums

We attended forums on COEO, Morhs, and Communication in Retail.

COEO is a concept sustainable store in Berlin. They categorize products into four areas -Fair Trade, made by people with disabilities, organic/sustainable, and books on environmental and wellness.

Morhs is an Independent Department Store in a small town (population 1,900) 40 km from Hamburg. By having a highly individual style and premium brands they have developed a loyal following. In an unconventional approach, they have ceased mail-order trading and it is not possible to shop online. In order to shop here, you must visit the store and experience the environment.

Blocher&Blocher did a presentation on two projects from a communications perspective -Intersport Brundl in Kaprun is in a rural area of Austria and was about how the Architecture of the building related to the physical environment and how they reflected their natural environment in their graphics message back to customers.

Kastner&Ohler in Graz, Austria is a Department Store that was recently demolished and rebuilt. This was the story of how they communicated with their public when reopening and looked at a number of unusual topics in what was regarded as a souvenir publication. They included features on the building itself as it developed with photography showing progress, stories on individual employees cleaners to management, interviews with local celebrities and politicians on their experience and memories of the store. They also asked the question – what would happen if there was no Kastner&Oehler? Physically what would the City’s landscape look like and how would it affect the city itself.

David Cullen Jewellers

David Cullen Jewellers

David Cullen has been involved in the jewellery trade for over 15 years. He has traded in Nutgrove S.C. for the last 7 Years. In 2010 he decided to move his shop to a more prominent corner site in the main mall.

Store Design presented a new proposal.  We changed the original entrance to maximize visibility and traffic flow. Walnut timber finishes were used along with opal laminated glass and Tektura wallcoverings to compliment the young designer jewellery brands. A purple carpet was used alongside polished cream tiles at the entrance area.
