About Environment Day Fenestra Ostentationis

Dies Ambitus est fenestra ostentationis mercaturae, in taberna Istanbuli constituta, creata. Ostentatio murum aridae terrae manu factum exhibet, qui praetereuntium attentionem allicit. Consilium ex siccitate et amissione opum naturalium in Terra ortum est. Ager viridis designatus est qui per terram aridam penetraret, ostendens renovationem adhuc possibilem esse. Terra arida ex argilla in tabulis MDF applicata formata est, et per hebdomadam sole siccata ut superficies rimosa crearetur. Areae virides ex musco factae sunt, et litterae ex ligno excisae. Circiter nonaginta octo centesimae ostentationis ex materiis sustinibilibus et organicis factae sunt.

Unique Properties: 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.
Dimensions & Packaging: Window display's general dimensions: 4650 mm x 30 mm x 3140 mm
The surface of the showcase was created by coating MDF plates with clay.
The green plants on the showcase were created from moss.
The texts and the slogan were created by cutting wooden letters.
The red big company logo in the middle of the showcase is lacquered.
Tags: Sustainability, Window Display, Showcase, Green, Clay, Drought
Production Technology: The dryland was made from clay and it “sundried” for a week to give the fissured appearance. For the design, a local clay artist has worked on the process for over 2 weeks. To demonstrate Arcelik’s attitude about the environment, 98.2% of the display design was created from sustainable and organic materials.
Design Challenge: The most challenging part was the soil background. The dry land was made from clay and it "sundried" for a week to give the fissured appearance. For the design, a local clay artist has worked on the process for over 2 weeks. To demonstrate Arcelik's attitude about Eart, 98% of the display design was created from sustainable & organic materials.
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.
Project Duration: The project design started in April 2021 in Istanbul and finished in June 2021 in Istanbul, and was exhibited in Arcelik Store Kadikoy Istanbul in June 2021. The project was designed for environment day, which is June 5th and it is still on display for awareness.
Operation Flow: 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.
