My retail store is a Thrift Store, which supports students financially. This store provides them with the opportunity of selling their items, and buy second-hand items.
In order to offer them the experience needed, I started by working on the circulation of the space, which is the result of a forced-path plan. By controlling the path of the clients, I am able to let them pass by the display as much as I could.
Since the main focus is on attracting the youth to come in, the facades play a main role in my project. The display is mainly placed on the glass facades, to be revealed on the street, followed by “portes à bascules” which are glass doors that can be opened, and items could be moved to the outside.
Bag swings are placed to display unique bags, which is also an element that attracts the youth. Making use of each structure I have, I used the columns to display bags on adjustable shelves, since every bag differs in size, and mirrors on the opposite sides.
My main area focus on the cashier area which is divided into two areas, the “Give” area (in green) where clients donate or sell their items, and the “Buy” area (in red) which is where clients buy the items, making sure that they pass by all the displays before buying.
Regarding the material, it’s all unified in color, in white, in order to make the items pop.
