Regatta-Golden ABC
A remarkable quality that gives RedGoods the edge
is that they read and absorb cultures very well.
Put it down to experience. Call it empathy. Don’t
forget all the research, planning and market testing
that they do. Ultimately, perhaps it doesn’t really
matter how or why they understand their clients so
well - only that they can and that they do. That’s a
defining RedGoods’s trait: can-do creativity and
good practical and common sense designs for their
clients. Successful retailers and clients of tomorrow
want to make a difference now by doing it better,
faster and smarter than it has been done before. Best
advice?
Cyan – Moscow Multi Branded Fashion
Golden ABC commissioned RedGoods Ltd. to
revitalize the Regatta’s brand and store design
creating a retail proposition that expands the brand
to Sea, Coast, town and country. The first two
Regatta stores have been opened at Shangri-La Plaza
and SM Aura.
isual aesthetics play a crucial contribution in
the success of one’s business in the context
of interactive presentation of products.
First, the interior space is designed in
line with the current trends, color, material and
graphics. Secondly, the sector is dominated by huge
consumer boom in fashion industry, which covers
the sales of clothing, accessories and shoes as well
as we beauty products. Fashion is a market that is
largely dominated by women and is very much an
interactive social experience perceived by many
as a day out. Environmental patterns and features
that are gratifying to the senses create an aesthetic
experience to one’s linear perspective. It isn’t just
instinct or intuition or bolts from the blue. It grows
out of hard, tangible facts about the real world, retail
clients, their markets and their brands.
L.V.B. Ltd. Commissioned RedGoods Ltd. to design
and develop a new multi fashion brand and interior
store design to fit a 400 sq. m. store that incorporated
their new big idea of a fashion zone, by providing a
fashion consultant that would provide advice to
clients, mixing and matching brands, and converting
the customer in to the fashion hero’s of the store by
creating a multi media platform to photographic and
capture the customer in their new fashion items and
broadcasting the customers images in the store on
LCD screens and through social media.
Both projects demonstrate good examples of
practical and innovative retail design solutions,
which have developed or reinvented a brand idea for
today’s booming fashion market.
Follow the universal principles of pleasure in design.
