The Design

About Environment Day Etalage

Milieudag is een etalage-ontwerp gemaakt voor een winkel in Istanboel. De etalage bevat een handgemaakte muur van dorre grond die de aandacht trekt van voorbijgangers. Het idee ontstond uit droogte en het verlies van natuurlijke hulpbronnen op aarde. Een groen veld werd ontworpen om door de dorre grond heen te breken, wat laat zien dat vernieuwing nog steeds mogelijk is. De dorre grond werd gevormd uit klei aangebracht op MDF-platen en een week lang in de zon gedroogd om een gebarsten oppervlak te creëren. De groene gedeelten zijn gemaakt van mos en de letters zijn uit hout gesneden. Ongeveer 98 procent van de etalage is gemaakt van duurzame en organische materialen.

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.

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.
