Birmingham, UK, (20th March, 2012) – Green Room Retail, leading expert providers of retail solutions including retail design, point-of-purchase, shop-in-shop and flagship store design, has been chosen by Global sports accessories brand Oakley to be its European creative partner.
The appointment will see the Birmingham-based retail design and delivery practice develop visual merchandising campaigns throughout Oakley’s European franchise network (a total of 55 outlets across 12 countries). They will also design and install a major window display at the brand’s flagship Covent Garden store.
Delivered from paper to store in just two weeks, the execution features an oversized action image of a surfer reflected in the mirrored lens of a pair of giant 3D Jupiter sunglasses. The design is deliberately engineered to overcome the logistical challenges posed by the 19th Century architecture of the London site, in particular the stone-framed multi-panel windows, while still providing a visual standout across the world-famous piazza.
Ross Adam, Green Room’s senior account director responsible for the project, comments:
“This project presented a great opportunity to create a bold design that not only showcases the product but punches above its weight to capture the attention of the millions of shoppers and tourists frequenting one of London’s most popular locations.
“Oakley is an iconic brand with a strong heritage and a fun, irreverent attitude and we’re thrilled the team there have put their faith in Green Room to convey this across their UK and European retail estate.”
Oakley is the latest brand to be added to Green Room’s fast expanding client list, joining the likes of Citroen, Timberland, Nike, Mercedes-Benz and Sony PlayStation. According to Design Week’s Top 100 Consultancy Survey, Green Room is the UK’s fastest growing retail design and delivery practice.
