The
store design complements the Nambé product
line of high-end metal and crystal home accessories,
helping the customer to understand the Nambe collection
and become totally engulfed by the space. One
of three stores scheduled for completion in 2003,
this 1,900-sq.-ft. specialty store combines clean,
elegant presentation with a fresh retail approach
to home accessories. "The undulating radiuses
of the store fixtures meld into one continuous
line vertically and horizontally, drawing the
customer in," explains Don Finley, president of
Capital Contracting & Design Inc., noting
that the shelving was designed to appear to float
in the space. Like Nambé's product, the
fixtures, which are built from maple, leather,
steel, plastic laminate, and glass, are clean
and elegant. |

In
this one-of-a-kind, highly interactive kiosk from
Best Buy, shoppers for cell phones and digital cameras
are rewarded with a fun, educational shopping experience.
"Sales associates can stand out in front comfortably
discussing the product with customers," says Chuck
Lee, display design manager for Best Buy Co. All
product is live and accessible. Customers can pick
up the camera and see on a viewing screen what the
camera is seeing. When the cameras are not in use,
the viewing screens show information about products.
The unique design is at once "techie" and easy to
understand. The digital platform fixture has changeable
tops for added flexibility. The fixture and the
space in which it sits is very unusual for Best
Buy. "Situated near the entrance to Best Buy's first
New York City store, Best Buy intentionally kept
the aisles wide and the fixture impact high to entice
customers to come inside," Lee says. Made of aluminum,
particleboard with laminate and acrylic, the Chelsea
Digital fixture is unique enough to wow a sophisticated
New York City shopper, as well as the RDA judges. |
