_Idea_

Working closely with the retail team at Fraser Group, d4r were invited to design and produce ICONIC’s first ever permanent beauty retail concession, globally, and implement it into the brand-new Flannels flagship store at Fosse Park – one of Britain’s biggest out-of-town shopping destinations. The new standalone retail unit follows the successful launch of Flannels’ very first beauty hall in July at Meadowhall, Sheffield, where d4r also designed and produced a gondola based VM unit for ICONIC. An air of lightness and minimalism achieved via the use of luxury materials and a premium finish was the essence of the brief – and we think we nailed it!

_Insight_

Exhibiting a broad service offer, ICONIC’s new retail space supports traditional beauty consultations, and a myriad of mirrors provide the perfect multi-light setting for complete experimentation of different make-up looks. Making it easy for beauty fans to browse the brand’s products, self-selection counters display ICONIC’s full range and invite customers to test product before buying. An updateable ‘hotspot’ podium unit showcases ICONIC’s latest special gift sets and colour stories, whilst media screens feature ICONIC’s popular Insta feeds, disrupting the consumer journey and linking up the brand’s multi-channel marketing in store, seamlessly.

_Realisation_

As the first beauty brand that visitors of the new Flannels flagship see when they enter the store, ICONIC London captures the zeitgeist of luxury that oozes from every corner of this new high-end brand emporium. And with plans to hold tutorials and live events in this space very soon, this unforgettable beauty destination is a must-see for lovers of beauty across the UK and further afield.

Every trend has an opposite, a counterpart that is its antithesis, and these ‘design dualities’ is precisely what our latest insight report explores. Delving into these dualities is not merely about style; it’s decoding the unspoken conversation of fractured communities, seeking pathways for bridge building through forms that reflect our division.
