New Devine Color Rack Designed With Women In Mind

Devine Color has introduced a new merchandising display fashioned after a modern cosmetic counter. Created by Company founder Gretchen Schauffler, the Devine Color Rack is designed to help consumers choose color with hand-painted color swatches, arranged in color wheels by palette, along with Schauffler’s own design tips.

“I looked at cosmetics counters and fashion displays, which make shopping fun and inviting,” Schauffler said. “I wanted to recreate that experience for paint so that choosing color for the home is as inviting as trying on lipsticks or turning a carousel of earrings.”

The cherrywood display counter is flanked by racks of affordable Devine Color Mini Paint Pouches. Each Mini Paint Pouch contains two ounces of Devine Color paint, packaged inside a stylish cover that looks like a paperback book.

The Franke sink display is used to display three different premium clay fired sinks. The main objective was to develop a display that would show each sink mounted to a counter surface in a small footprint. Two of the sinks are mounted in pull out drawers. These drawers were designed so that only one can be pulled out at a time to ensure the stability of the unit. Franke developed an upper add-on module to display a fourth sink in the same footprint.

Quick-Step's goal was to bring a new look to the laminate flooring industry by getting away from the trend towards wood grains and very masculine looking displays. The Signature unit was designed using softer colors (caramel and saffron), large radiuses on the back panels, down lighting, edge lighting and back lighting providing a softer looking display geared more to the female buyer.
