BEST NEW PRODUCTS OF 2011
Whether it’s the integration of lighting with fixtures and signage, advances in green materials or dramatic mannequin styles, this year saw a bevy of fresh ideas applied to the traditional products palette. Flexibility remains relevant – if not mandatory – as retailers aim to create elements of distinction within their spaces. And don’t forget the appeal of the unexpected by mixing metals with natural materials or using unusual, oversized props to bring a smile to shoppers’ faces. In the end, it’s all about creating the right signature statement for your retail environment. VMSD wraps up the year with a review of some noteworthy new products.
