"Visual merchandising
This is a small store, and both floors would struggle to make more than three people standing in a line across
its width feel comfortable. That said, there is still room for a trio of chummy-looking mannequins to stand
with linked arms in the window. Designed by mannequin manufacturer Universal Display specifically for the
Boutique range, these clean, white figures set a fresh tone for the store, which is followed through with white
runner rails, used to display the merchandise on the ground floor.
This is a pop-up store, although at times you’d be hard-pressed to realise this. The rest of the visual
merchandising is minimalist, ranging from cheerful vases of sunflowers to an outsize version of a child’s
plastic windmill, in yellow and white, at the back of the ground floor.
Also at the rear, small gift-like accessories are displayed on a series of clear acrylic shelves - a strong and
cheap solution that focuses the eye on the product, rather than the means used to show it off. All quite
simple, but effective."
