Working closely with Allison Baby’s US-based design team and Boots’ retail requirements, we translated creative concepts into practical, durable, and visually striking in-store displays, tailored to 36 different store layouts across the UK.

Key objectives

  • Deliver a premium retail display that aligned with Allison Baby’s brand and Joie’s product positioning

  • Solutions

    Phased approach solution

    We provided a full end-to-end solution, acting as the central point of contact for all stakeholders. Our team developed detailed construction drawings, selected robust materials suitable for high-traffic retail environments, and produced full-size prototypes to validate both design and functionality. Detailed 3D layout drawings were created for every store to ensure a precise and confident rollout.

    In order to keep the schedule continuously moving forward, we took a phased approach, building and installing each set individually. This strategy gave us the agility to meet tight deadlines without compromising on quality.
