The Design

About Environment Day Vitrine

O Dia do Meio Ambiente é uma vitrine de varejo criada para uma loja em Istambul. A vitrine apresenta uma parede de terra seca feita à mão que atrai a atenção das pessoas que passam. A ideia surgiu da seca e da perda dos recursos naturais da Terra. Um campo verde foi projetado para penetrar na terra seca, mostrando que a renovação ainda é possível. A terra seca foi formada por argila aplicada sobre placas de MDF e seca ao sol durante uma semana, criando uma superfície fissurada. As áreas verdes são feitas de musgo e as letras são cortadas em madeira. Cerca de 98 por cento da vitrine é feita de materiais sustentáveis e orgânicos.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

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.
