From the drawing board
Recently completed concept sketches for a leading tyre retailer. The brief was to improve the ambience in the customer-facing areas.
Rhubarb Retail is a cross-company team of retail interior designers, with practical experience of retail planning, design and architecture.
| Drawing on a vast retail project history from parent companies C A Design Services and 3d Architects we develop interior design concepts that not only look great, but also include the business insight and consumer understanding that adds real spice to your stores. Our aim is to develop compelling store designs that not only leave customers with a fresh brand experience, but are also sensitive to a retailer’s need to drive sales and reduce operating costs. Our designs are still developed around our client's tastes; we use fresh, up-to-date ideas for every design project, whatever the size and budget. |
With an established team that includes interior designers, architects, surveyors, 3D visualisers, software developers and space planners, we have a complete understanding of how clients, their staff, and their consumers interact with retail space. This means we can really focus our retail designs on grabbing attention and drawing footfall, whilst also enhancing your brand flavours. So, if you're a high street retailer thinking about freshening-up your stores, expanding your presence or diversifying your retail offer - contact Rhubarb Retail and discover a unique combination of creativity and real-world practicality. |
