34 | Product Spotlight Fixtures A little pizzazz One-of-a-kind fi xtures differentiate store environments across the globe By Jessie Bove, Managing Editor hether incorporated into an existing space as part of a refurbishment or integrated into a completely new prototype, fixtures play an integral role in shaping retail design. Some fixtures can fit seamlessly into the design layout, with subtle tweaking to accommodate stock here and there. Other fixtures can breathe new life into stale store environments, completely altering the mood and refreshing the brand image without the need for an entire design overhaul. And then there are the fixtures that have such a dramatic effect—a true “wow” factor—that they literally stop shoppers in their tracks. Be it wildly bold color, cleverly shifting shapes or jaw-dropping recreations, unique fixtures add a much-needed boost and sense of drama to the store environment that helps retailers differentiate themselves in today’s highly competitive marketplace, where sameness is too often the case.
