Production Technology
With the aim of creating a premium design identity that could sustain in a harsh retail environment, sturdy materials were proposed. Fixtures were made with square metal powder-coated pipes. Using Virtual reality gear for immersive product experience, an interactive touch table was introduced to reduce the inventory cost and helmet sanitizing machine for hygiene. Use of eco-friendly and recyclable materials like green cast acrylic and paper wood. For human safety, use of fire-resistant ACP.
Design Challenge
The design studio was aware of the massive challenge of joining consumers belongs to masses and classes together under one roof. In the design process of directing, ratios, mixing, balancing and various design elements such as the grey facade, brand wall, cutting space, category, Stock Keeping Unit into right proportions were respected, and the right mix of mass & class was maintained very well all across.
Research
Two-month detailed International research was conducted after the design brief, teams traveled to Malaysia, China, Thailand, Srilanka and India to develop a deeper understanding of consumer and market insights. In order to achieve the design into reality, various iterations were conducted on material selection and comparison. In the construction process, the design team joins with many parties, studies and discussions, so that the effect of the design scheme has been restored and landed well.
Inspiration
The concept of this proposal is about to unify two brands together (Studds and SMK). Therefore Studds, the world's largest helmet manufacturer desired a global retail Identity. In phase one brand planned to rollout 100 stores in Asia with an average area of 600 to 1000 sq ft. The broad inspiration came from three words of the brand - legacy, comfort and safety. The layer of the same design skin was sketched across every inch of the store to achieve a unified design identity. The design allows for generating a large flow of consumers to have a better experience. Yet a futuristic design for both consumer segments masses and classes.
Project Duration
The project started in 10/09/2018 and finished in 07/03/2019 at 1 Mahant Laxman Dass Road- Dehradun, Uttrakhand, Dehradun 248001 IN
Operation Flow
1.Prototyping was the foundation step for each production process.
2. Defining the lighting in store ambience in relation to product - This balance was highly critical.
3.Using the actual Studds Factory Manufacturing Process and transforming it into retail design was highly challenging while executing various brand touch points e.g Main glass facia shows the product explode view of helmet. Main door handle of the store was a HELMET itself.
