Many retail spaces are not built with a certain brand in mind. Instead, designers and brands have to work with the existing conditions of the space provided. In Patagonia Chicago, we wanted to create a large moment dedicated to telling the brand's purpose at the entry of the store, but the existing architecture didn't provide a natural location to execute it. Instead of placing the purpose statement in a different location, we designed a vertical slat wall display that served as a space divider, decompression zone, and a point of intrigue from the transparency into the rest of the retail space. To finish it off, we created selected natural materials and natural wood-finished dimensional lettering to align with the brand's ethos around sustainability. Do you like how this statement piece feels in the space?

In this guide, our designers have compiled our best creative ideas for retail stores that won’t break the bank for your next store opening or refresh.
