Filene’s Basement Uses High Visibility Custom Fixtures

Filene’s Basement needed custom fixtures for two new locations, one opening in Hunts Valley, MD and the other in Boston.

The Boston location required the fixture to be no higher than a glass wall that was 44" high. The fixture was to be used in front of the escalator so it was to have high visibility. It also had to be flexible with different types of merchandise to be presented so a hangbar attachment with peg hooks was used to accommodate the changes in merchandise and seasons. The Hunt Valley, MD location also required the same attributes in its fixtures as they were to be located right on the second floor near the cash wrap, escalator and elevator. The Filene’s Basement custom fixtures were designed, manufactured and installed by Flair Display, located in Bronx, New York.



Naturalizer Signature Replicates Gallery Showcase

Brown Shoe Co. has joined forces with style expert and TV personality Gretchen Monahan to create the Naturalizer Signature collection of modern, sophisticated heels, wedges and flats from the Company’s flagship Naturalizer brand. Designed with a touch of Naturalizer’s hallmark comfort, coupled with its pricing --$125 to $160- the collection is positioned in the “attainable luxury” category.

The Naturalizer Signature display highlights the new designer footwear collection within Naturalizer retail stores.

By isolating the shelving unit with a silk panel in back, a branded face plate on the surface, and segmenting the unit into smaller curved display cubes, Naturalizer was able to attain the look and feel of a modern gallery showcase.
