Graphic display specialist Leach Impact has unveiled a new ultrailluminated<br />

product designed to introduce a wow factor to the retail<br />

environment.<br />

Exclusively unveiled to a handful of VIP customers before being released<br />

to the market, Vision Lightwall follows 12 months of in-house development.<br />

Available in three key formats, the products integrate ultra-bright LED<br />

illumination with large format HD-quality graphics, designed to capture<br />

the attention of shoppers on the often-challenging high street.<br />

This self-assembly, lightweight pop-up represents a more modern and<br />

impactful alternative to simple pull-up graphics. With options up to 2m<br />

tall x 3m wide, this particular freestanding Lightwall is intended to provide<br />

brands with maximum exposure in small spaces. The tool-less system is<br />

easy to transport and erect, and CE-certified for complete peace of mind.<br />

In stores with larger available square<br />

footage, the modular Lightwall can<br />

be supplied in sizes up to 5m tall x<br />

20m wide. Engineered with<br />

flexibility in mind, this solution<br />

– also CE-certified – presents an<br />

array of visually striking possibilities,<br />

with the support of an installation<br />

team.<br />

Finally, a series of add-ons can be<br />

incorporated into this modular<br />

system, for added impact. Options<br />

include in-built TVs, hanging profiles,<br />

and the merchandising capabilities<br />

of Leach’s Product Wall Lite.<br />

With no such thing as a ‘one size fits<br />

all’ configuration, clients can choose<br />

from a non-illuminated specification, edge lighting with beam LEDs, the<br />

brightest back-lit option, or a soon-to-be-launched flexible lightsheet, which<br />

enables the system to be rolled up for ultimate movability.<br />

Commenting on the team’s ambition for this product range, Leach’s head of<br />

innovation Mike Willshaw explained: “We recognise the challenges being<br />

LEACH AIMS TO WOW WITH NEW PRODUCT<br />

experienced on the high street, but this is exactly why our innovation team<br />

is here – to anticipate and address these challenges head on, with industry<br />

input. We know that impactful store environments can be notoriously<br />

expensive, for instance, which means brands are often accepting of<br />

lacklustre displays that still represent a significant investment and are often<br />

only single-use.<br />

“But given the level of design, print and manufacturing advancements<br />

within the display sector, it is possible to do so much more – it is possible<br />

to create visually stunning<br />

spaces without breaking the<br />

bank. We’ve therefore<br />

collaborated with retailers of<br />

all shapes and sizes to create<br />

Lightwall, and we’re extremely<br />

excited about its potential.”<br />

Elsewhere, Lightwall has also<br />

attracted the attention of the<br />

events sector. Leach is already<br />

accustomed to supporting<br />

organisations with exhibition<br />

solutions – in partnership with<br />

Belgian-owned beMatrix for<br />

instance – and interest in this<br />

latest innovation indicates<br />

wider potential within the exhibition arena.<br />

“As with the other lightbox products in Leach Impact’s portfolio, the<br />

Lightwall is designed to accommodate interchangeable fabric graphics<br />

which makes it the perfect solution for one event after another,” added<br />

Mike. “The level of waste often left behind after trade shows and<br />

conferences is staggering – this solution therefore addresses the reuse<br />

problem whilst maximising clients’ return on investment.”<br />

PROPABILITY DELIVERS INDUSTRIAL CHIC<br />

TO FENWICK BOND STREET<br />

Propability worked alongside the Fenwick of Bond Street Visual<br />

Merchandising team to create this impressive window display delivering an<br />

industrial yet sophisticated merchandise display. Themed ‘Piping Hot’ the<br />

concept was brought to life by Propability – designing scaffolding style<br />

shelving which was sprayed in various colours. Instead of using scaffolding<br />

planks bespoke clear acrylic shelves were created to create a lighter<br />

element to the display on which to position key merchandise.<br />

Propability incorporated waste pipes that bend up, down and across the<br />

windows - which were sprayed in similar colours - with others treated in a<br />

gold chrome which added further to the overall sense of luxury.<br />

Overall, nearly 50 metres of 160mm diameter pipes were used turning<br />

around 20 bends! The display was completed on the exterior of the<br />

building with two sets of U-bend pipes attached to the outside of the<br />

window to give the scheme some extra dynamism.<br />

The effect is a stunning contrast of industry layered with sophistication.<br />

The merchandise on display offers an additional decadence and style which<br />

completes the theme.<br />
