The role of the exhibition stand and showroom space is no longer purely focused around showcasing product for sale. In a day and age where we can browse, shop and specify online, showrooms offer up the perfect opportunity for staging inspiring, collaborative activities such as The Project.
Café Culture + Insitu with DKO Architecture and Hot Black
Coco Republic with Greg Natale and Sony DADC
From pop-up installations that were all about texture, colour, look and feel, right through to experimental product investigations, The Project teased out ideas and talking points around the 2014 Project theme, Inception.
Artedomus with Studio You Me and Thomas Coward
Arthur G and The Selvedge Group with Bruce Henderson Architects
Business Interiors by Staples with ZWEI
It was with pure excitement that visitors walked through, around, under and into Project installations which at times took over an entire space. Many brands revealed the more textural and detailed side of their products through interactive activities that invited customers to get up close and playful with materials, forms, shapes and more.
