PRIMARY FUNCTION: Window Display
INSPIRATION: The hope of a small green plant emerging from dry soil is a great source of inspiration. A sustainable life is still possible if the importance given to the environment increases. It was thought that a design that give a clear message was necessary to say still have luck and invite this action.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The window display is designed to create awareness and attract everyone passing through the store via striking hand-made drought wall. The design idea arose from the drought and the loss of Earth’s natural resources. In order to stress the importance of the action, a “greenfield” was designed that penetrates the “dryland”. To demonstrate Arcelik’s attitude about the environment, 98.2% of the display design was created from sustainable & organic materials.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Together with Arcelik, we aim to heal this world together with responsible production and consumption perspective. We'd like to inspire consumers to consume responsibly and join our activities to save Earth's recourses. If it will not happen in this way, we can't greener the land as we did in our retail showcase. This is the message that we aimed foır consumers.
