We were commissioned to design, develop, manufacture and install a Free Standing Unit for Grant Westfield for their Multipanel display.

We did around 80 units in total for multiple stores across the UK and not only did it excel, but it achieved all the objectives supplied by the client from the brief, as well as creating a flexible unit in aid to provide an effective value for money solution to cover their requirements. This bespoke unit creates an effective shopping journey for the customers with the use of large samples and being clearly visible.

You will find this stand in a number of bathroom showrooms, Builders and Plumbers merchants such as POCHIN in Leicester.
The client wanted something that was to be permanent in store, therefore we made it from sheet metal fabrication and powder coated it. We wanted to create something bright, appealing and with the use of acrylic – this made the unit durable and can be easily cleaned.

We considered using different materials such as laminated MDF, however, the beauty of metal was to apply graphics to it which would allow the sales staff to update the graphics easily without further assistance from an installation team – this makes the unit flexible and easy merchandisable.

Grant Westfield’s brand, Multipanel is the largest in the UK that supply wall paneling which supply for bathrooms. It was vital to create an eye-catching display in store which would then boost their presence and would help increase overall sales.
We wanted to create an A4 measurement sample for each material displayed, which we believe to be the perfect and practical size for samples which were to be big enough and a realistic dimension to give the best visual for the shoppers.

Multi-panel, although being the number 1 UK market leader with 42% of the market place had a low presence in store and their previous displays didn’t do justice for their quality products. We wanted to take lead and for the display to be free standing, at the forefront and to also have a removable rear support. We wanted this display to be captivating whilst illustrating their product ranges. After researching into shopping behaviour with our insight team, we found out that these types of stands tend to be placed in corners of stores, not necessarily where the biggest footfall is. We were wanting to create a display which would allow the shoppers to feel and touch the samples with ease.

Grant Westfield changed their range regularly and they wanted to compete against their competitors. As home interior design is always evolving – they wanted easy flexibility to change the range with little assistance.
We made the unit with metal, with shelving slots both front and back – this would make it flexible to adapt between range launches as the shelving space would be reduced by the use of graphics. With future range launches, they have the choice to have a double-sided display.

Gemini Quartz Showroom FSDU

We were briefed on a Gemini Quartz FSDU which was to be showcased in many of their showrooms across the UK.

This unit was sited in mainly kitchen showrooms, builders and plumbers merchants. It’s target market is to both trade and the general public that will include DIYers, builders, plumbers and architectural specifiers. We wanted the presentation of the whole thing to be durable and free standing.

The unit also had to be strong and durable due to the weight of the samples that were displayed on the unit.

We made sure that when designing this unit, it was key for us to maintain a small amount of footprint to the shop floor without compromising on presentation of samples.

Our design needed to stand out and entice shoppers. With that being said we used LED lights to illuminate products - this would then show off the maximum potential and key elements of the products effectively, all whilst enhancing the lustre of the stone.

This particular FSDU achieved all the objectives supplied from the clients brief. It was designed, developed and installed on time and effectively to the client’s budget. Gemini Quartz' awareness rose with pride which also led to an increase in growth of product against forecast.

It was designed to make both transportation and manual handling easier as the units were to be placed instore by merchandisers working as a one man team, therefore reducing installation costs by the client.

We look forward to working with Gemini Quartz on any future projects.
