Earth Mama, Mothers' Day Kitchenware Window Display

The Earth Mama theme is conveyed through a natural, neutral colour palette of browns accented with Spring green and Autumnal orange. Whether one's mother makes pies, smokes food, drinks tea, makes her own bread, pasta, butter or yoghurt, is conscientiously plastic or waste free, or enjoys the luxurious pleasure of a glass of bubbly and fresh oysters after a hard day's work, there is something to suit everyone's mum.

Angry, Hot and Cool Mamas, Mothers' Day Window Display

The supplier of the 'Mama' range completed delivery of the third product in the series along with POS material just in time for Mothers' Day.

This included a solar powered turn table for the Angry Mama to spin her within her 'microwave' and an 'oven' for the Hot Mama. All 3 Mamas have proven extra popular since the installation of this informative window, teamed with a front of store, table display.

The client made some toast to prop in a toast rack and complement the Breville toaster, placed in this story as part of a Mothers' Day promotion.

Easter Kitchenware Window Display

Initial concept development sketch.

This year a concerted, self driven effort was made to dress the Easter windows as they had not been done before.

• Easter windows can be very bitsy due to the small scale of the merchandise. Cake tins were used to add visual presence and to complement the sweetness of Easter treats. Additionally...
• ...Hand drawn and cut out, larger than life rabbit props were made from reclaimed cardboard
• Temporary nest like structures made of woodstraw were fashioned, to evoke Spring
• Instead of a pair of aprons flanking the central panel, a single apron created the peak, in line with the solid background
• Chocolate moulds that had previously been deemed too irksome to repack were carefully unpacked to keep the soft colour palette as tight as possible. 
• Prop eggs from the Flying Frog Concepts Prop Library were used, instead of the eggs originally sourced for the client years ago.

The result was delighted customers and passersby with sell out sales of many items. Some stock was reordered and still sold through strongly. It made maintaining the window challenging but worthwhile!

An assortment of stylised rabbit poses developed for the window. The yellow, orange and pale purple poses were used.

Baby rabbit, handmade cut out from reclaimed corrugated cardboard.

Rabbit cardboard prop.

Grouping the rabbit pancake ring with the crepe spreader, next to the Kitchenaid stand mixer helps to convey the purpose of the object for those not familiar with it.

Pretty in pink - and a fun way to display duck and baby chick biscuit cutters, by posing them in a ceramic egg tray with prop eggs. Taking a cue from the apron and oven mitts in the display, black and granite tones were strategically used in the window display to add impact, and a mature sophistication to what would otherwise be a very soft and feminine colour palette.

Reclaimed woodstraw was used to create several clean, earth toned bird nests. Here is a squirrel egg cosy with a pair of eggs in an enamel dish 'nest'.

This temporary prop nest made of woodstraw, cradles a speckled egg from the Flying Frog Concepts Prop Library. One dozen such eggs in speckled, pale blue and terracotta were used throughout the display.

Icecream Window Display

Dry food styling, icecream sundae using faux fruit and artfully manipulated tissue paper. With the adjacent checkered background a retro, icecream parlour flavour is evoked.

Dry food styled, icecream boat using carefully rolled balls of coloured tissue paper. The effect can not be replicated by simply scrunching it up.

Magimix and Bamix Window Display

  

A new range of oven gloves with a checked cuff was the starting point for this display. 

This called for the main graphic banner, with an overall black and white palette teamed lime green highlights to keep it fresh and lively.

Fun, Modern and Feminine Kitchenware Display

A softly playful, modern, feminine colour palette of lolly pink, turquoise and crisp white - held in harmony with a purple background - highlights products of a similar taste. This display was installed at the same time as the Fathers' Day window, and thus balances that masculinity through being the opposite.

The Angry Mama and Cool Mama have both proven a hit, appealing to those who would also enjoy the Nessie utensils and tea infuser.

Classic Kitchenware, A Christmas Window Display

 

Display design drawing.

The client requested that the windows be as full as possible to make passers by stop to have a proper look. It works. Several popular items had to be pulled from the window to sell, then sold out.

The main window features traditional and classic kitchenware, 

major electrical brands and some new kits from Sausages Made Simple. 

The tone is set through use of traditional Christmas colours, 

with some turquoise to add a modern twist and some cool visual relief in the heat of Summer. 

This is balanced out with abundant use of red.

The client has installed timed spotlights to midnight for their late night window shoppers.

Gingerbread men cookie cutters - all of which sold out - with a cutter from gingerbread house template.
