| A museum-inspired, story-telling design displays “floating” jewelry without typical POS displays, while accent lighting focuses on what counts: the jewelry. Elliptical rotating display walls give the store the type of flexible space often found in art galleries. Custom, vertical branding appears throughout the store, at POS, and on packaging. The minimal and serene ambience is complimented by lacquered wood, upholstered silk panels, mohair, honed limestone, and marble borders to complete the high-end appearance. |

| Creating dynamic architecture based on the imagery of Elizabeth Arden, a curved “red ribbon” wall and a backlit wall with a flexible, graphic image display add drama to this remodeled beauty and cosmetics store. Featuring contemporary, yet classic materials such as terrazzo, starphire glass, polished chrome, and Corian, lighting components highlight different elements in the store. Pedestrians are enticed into the store by four invisible speakers and a video screen in the store’s entrance wall. |
