EUROSHOP 2020
THE WORLDS LARGEST RETAIL EXHIBITION RETURNS
EuroShop, the World’s largest Retail
Trade Fair, is a must-see fixture for
the retail world.
From 16 to 20 February,
Düsseldorf, it will bring together
around 2,300 exhibitors from over
60 countries with 114,000 trade
visitors expected from throughout
the world. It is not only an
indispensable information platform, trend
hotspot and network for retail professionals
but it also intensely impacts many other areas
and sectors, delivers innovative blueprints
and addresses urgent themes of relevance to
the future such as digitalisation, robotics and
sustainability.
EuroShop’s eight Experience Dimensions
cover retailers’ complete investment needs,
provide inspirations galore and deliver
answers to decisive questions that all retailers
wanting to remain competitive have to ask
themselves.
What functions do shops or stores have to
perform today? Serve as experience places
and points of identification? Feel-good
locations? A Third Place? Pop-up
marketplaces? What do they have to look or
feel like? Creative and hands-on answers
come care of the Shop Fitting & Store
Design Dimension.
The Retail Technology Dimension presents all
things surprising, enthusing, stimulating and
takes you to the next level. Augmented
Reality, Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence,
Internet-of-Things, Smart Store, Customer
Engagement, Mobile Payment and Cloudbased
Services are the dominating themes in
this Dimension.
Retail Marketing is the point of interest for
“digital creatives”. Customer engagement &
experience, brand experiences in physical and
digital stores, personalisation via mobile
devices, artificial intelligence, digital signage.
The Retail Marketing Dimension at EuroShop
2020 awaits trade visitors with the complete
spectrum of ever more in-depth and digital
shopper interaction.
The lighting community plays a major part at
EuroShop, too. Light plays a pivotal role when
experience and staging, fascination and
atmosphere come into play. Its versatile
technical applications ranging from smart
lighting to the IoT in conjunction with such
ecological aspects as sustainability and
efficiency will be on show at
the Lighting Dimension.
Storytelling – this is
what Visual
Merchandising is all
about – both as an
analogue experience
space and as a digital
platform. Eurohop’s
Dimension of the same name shows how to
perfectly stage them, fascinate and wow
shoppers with either walk-in stores or
augmented reality, as pop-up or digital stores.
More and more supermarkets and also
fashion stores draw their shoppers in with
food services. This is why catering in retail is a
“hot ticket” and will be given its own Food
Service Equipment Dimension for the first
time at EuroShop 2020. Here the menu will
feature everything from fast food to Michelin
star cuisine.
In the Refrigeration & Energy
Management Dimension what belongs
together will finally grow together: ecology and
economy. Digital transformation and building
automation, IoT and AI, efficiency and staging.

REVOLUTIONARY NEW MERCHANDISING
SYSTEM FOR UK FOOTWEAR GIANT, SCHUH
With over 130 stores, schuh is one of the UK’s largest footwear retailers
and is hugely popular amongst younger shoppers, baby-boomers, athletes
and fashionistas alike.
In 2019, schuh’s team of Visual Merchandisers worked in partnership with
Unibox and Briggs Hillier Design to create a ground-breaking product
display system that would sit at the core of their expansion efforts during
the decade ahead. Titled schuhTwentyTwenty, the objective was to
completely revise the brand’s existing store format to attract a greater
number of ‘Gen-Z’ customers by offering a futuristic shopping environment
and facilitating key product activations.
The installation impresses visually thanks to a unique combination of
goalpost-like archways which run from the entrance of a store through to
the rear and clean, striking shards of light which punctuate the entire
space. Moreover, its linear architecture intuitively guides shoppers from
one product display to another before leaving them at one of the paypoints
dotted throughout.
Unibox, the manufacturer responsible for realising schuh’s vision, will be
demonstrating the TwentyTwenty system at this year’s EuroShop. Find their
team in the Designer’s Village – Hall 12, stands A17-19.

PROPABILITY RECREATE FROZEN II
ARENDELLE CASTLE AT HAMLEYS
MEMBER NEWS
For the sequel to the Disney blockbuster Frozen, Hamleys commissioned
Propability to bring Frozen II to life in store to support with merchandise
sales. An entire Frozen area measuring 15m by 7m recreates scenes from
the film as the adventures continue for Arendelle's magical Queen Elsa,
her sister, Anna and everyone's favourite snowman, Olaf.
An incredible immersive environment was designed and constructed by
Propability with the castle from the film reconstructed by building a huge
section of the entrance to the castle together with turrets either side. The
Castle fixture measures 10m wide x 3.2 m tall x 12m deep and was
built at the Propability workshop before being transported and rebuilt in
sections in store.
It took 6 weeks to make using a variety of different skills and craftsmen
from carpenters to sculptors, metal workers and scenic painters. With only
two nights to install the whole area all components were prepared as
much as possible, including dressing the tree ahead of delivery to the
store.
The castle was created in MDF and timber and clad with fire rated
polystyrene, sculpted and coated in Jesmonite to give it a stone look and
feel which was further enhanced by applying specialist scenically painted
techniques. There are both exterior and interior walls recreating the actual
castle in the film in as much detail as possible.
The perimeter wall bays within the castle walls were dressed to resemble
the interior of the castle in the film with headers created especially to hold
graphics. This was all created in fire rated MDF and textured to either look
like stone or wood. Scenic painted treatments further accentuated the
textures. Gold leaf was also used on parts of the columns to give the area
a more regal look.
A phenomenal fixture and immersive retail environment that brings the
products off the shelf to support merchandise sales as Frozen II comes to
life in store for all fans!
The wall bays to the Frozen area also mimic the same style with vinyl wall
graphics along with two fountain cake stand fixtures for Frozen plush
merchandise to be displayed. These fixtures were made from fire rated
MDF, textured and scenically painted to replicate verdigris finish on the
fountains in the film.
The front archway of the castle has a large Frozen II logo sign overhead
along with low level walls with two bespoke lamp posts as banner holders
on either side. Flickering effect lights complete the scene which were
made out of steel tube and laser cut steel.
Within the walls of the castle stands a tall tree with over 130 faux
autumnal branches it was dressed in thousands of leaves supplied by
Propability sister company Flourish Trading. The tree was sculpted and
sheathed in fire rated fibreglass and scenically painted. Hidden within the
tree is an impressive mild steel structure which holds all eight large
branches. Each branch holds 25 stems of autumnal leaves each stem
holding hundreds of leaves. The tree took over 2 days to dress.
