Our Approach:
Farm Visit:
Our journey began with a visit to Source with our client, where we met the beekeeper (and his busy bees!) at Tropical Farms. Seeing the bees' natural habitat firsthand influenced the design and development approach. The goal? To bring the beauty and sustainability of nature into the store while showcasing real, farm-fresh honey to the customer.
Initial Concept:
Starting with the client’s initial concept, we began visualising ideas to bring their vision to life. These early drafts allowed us to explore creative ways to seamlessly blend natural elements with functional design, setting the stage for a truly unique and sustainable feature.
Development:
Building on the initial sketches, we progressed to developing detailed drawings for manufacturing. This stage involved refining the design and materials to ensure every element was not only visually appealing but also practical and feasible for production. Collaborating closely with our manufacturers, we translated the concept into precise specifications, ensuring the final product stayed true to the original vision.
Materials:
A key element of the design was repurposing old beehive boxes to shape the aesthetic of the feature. This sustainable choice not only honors the bees' environment but also creates a visually striking and meaningful display for customers.
Prototype:
To ensure a seamless process from design to manufacture and installation, we created a prototype for client approval. This step allowed both us and the client to review the design in detail, make any necessary adjustments, and perfect the final product before it was produced for the store. This collaborative approach ensured precision and alignment with the original vision.
Outcome
A visually striking and meaningful display that not only disrupts the customer journey but also tells a compelling story. By thoughtfully incorporating natural elements and sustainable materials, the design invites customers to connect with the journey of the product—from the bees at Tropical Farms to their shopping experience. This immersive display elevates the retail space, fostering a deeper appreciation for local produce and sustainable practices while enhancing the overall shopping experience.
