TIKKURILA - COLORFUL CHALLANGE!

Creating an inspiring and engaging store environment is at the core of our business. Together with Tikkurila, we have crafted a solution that not only embodies their brand but also showcases their products in the most captivating way. Our approach is rooted in a profound understanding of the client’s vision and needs, culminating in a store design that marries aesthetics with functionality.

In our project with Tikkurila, we have designed and constructed smart solutions to display their colors, aiming to captivate and guide consumers. We asked ourselves: How can the store interior be optimized to highlight Tikkurila’s products? How do we create a holistic consumer experience within the store? The result is a design that accentuates the diverse qualities of the colors on various surfaces. Additionally, we developed step-by-step guides to streamline the customer’s purchasing journey.

Details are pivotal in crafting an exceptional in-store experience. For Tikkurila, we experimented with various textures and angles to highlight colors under different lighting conditions and on diverse materials. The outcome has been remarkable, with a wall of colors that offers a faster and more genuine experience of Tikkurila’s entire palette.

For Tikkurila, we provided tailored solutions to meet their specific needs. Our suite of services includes a 3D floor planner, a customized webshop, ongoing order management, and logistics. Our flexibility and expertise ensure that we deliver products on time and to specification, every single time.

“The collaboration with PS has been fantastic.
We are very pleased with how our partnership has elevated our brand in our regional stores in an outstanding way,”
says Aki Karttunen, Retail Marketing Manager, .

STORE CONCEPT FOR MIPS 🟡

We round off an exciting and intense spring with the rollout of an inspiring project for Mips – a world leading company specializing in helmet-based safety and protection.

Developing a completely new store concept for Mips has been an exciting and slightly different challenge, where the brand is a component in the final product and in which Mips has the stronger label. Up until 2021, they has sold more than 30 million MIPS® safety systems to more than 140 helmet brands across numerous disciplines.

The products is available in a variety of stores, ranging from riding, cycling, and climbing to motorcycles and construction, which means that the conditions for a store concept can vary. Therefore we created a smart wall system that is attached to the outside of the stores’ existing slat wall, among other things. The concept also includes everything from freestanding floor racks to displays and modules. The design follows Mips’ clear visual brand with a clean Scandinavian expression with light gray walls and their characteristic and recognizable yellow dot.

You’ll find the brand new store concept in selected stores in Europe and US.

Mips gives you the confidence to follow your passion and we are proud to be a part of the customer experience in stores.✨

NEWS!
Shop-in-shop concept for Tarkett! ✨

In close collaboration with Scandinavian Retail Center, we have designed and developed a completely new shop-in-shop concept for Tarkett - one of the world’s largest flooring companies with operations in over 100 countries.

The design is evident in its expression. The entire interior is blue to create a great brand impact, and in order for the color to feel homogeneous it’s all made out of metal. The material’s properties also make it easy to replace magnetic plats and, together with corrugated sheets, it provides a texture that adds something extra to the design.

The system is scalable, making it flexible and easy to adapt to different store areas. Our floor planner and online store, which are especially adapted for Tarkett, simplifies the experience of planning and ordering unique interior.

Tarkett strives to create good products; floors that fulfill a function with a beautiful design and still friendly to both the environment and people. This philosophy goes hand in hand with the development of this new concept that already can be found in around 30 stores around the Nordic countries, and the rollout to up to 2,000 stores is currently underway.

We strive to constantly develop and evolve, learn and share our knowledge of the industry.

As part of this, we are excited to collaborate with universities and we’re currently mentors for students who are working on their Master thesis for Industrial Design at Jönköping University. Julia Lázaro García, a student at JU, has been working on a retail concept with support from our Chief Design Officer Oscar Hakeberg during the spring. She’ll soon start working on the prototype of the final design. We’re excited to follow both Julia and her classmates journey in this constantly evolving industry.

Have you ever seen a bigger yellow dot? 🟡 We haven’t! Now you may find Mips and the huge dot in stores fronting our bike helmets. 

A common question often asked is which bike helmet is the best. We recommend having a look at Virginia Tech´s bike helmet rating to find out yourself.👇

Store concept for Fjällräven//Specialized in collaboration with Ambjörn Viking.
🚲🎒🧥

Fjällräven and California bicycle brand Specialized Bicycles have united across the ocean, to develop a new collection: an ongoing exchange of ideas and culture, innovation and expertise. All done to empower people to bike and hike their way to new trails, and perspectives. The result is a unique collection for nearby adventures, a collection of garments and hardware developed to enable adventures as close – or as far away – from home as you want.

PS Retail has collaborated with Fjällräven since the early 90s and was commissioned to work with industrial designer Ambjörn Viking to develop a store concept for the project. The interior would reflect two strong brands and in order to be able to function in many different store environments it is based on a flexible and modular system, where, among other things, round rods in ash meets aluminum joinery. The retail interior is now in place in stores, ready to highlight the unique collection from the exciting exchange.

HUSQVARNA / TOOLS FOR YOU

Times are changing, and so is the way people own and use tools. On behalf of Husqvarna, we created a new type of tool-shed, making it easier for people to rent tools whenever they need. The steady concrete foundation and galvanized iron will cope both weather conditions and rough handling – just like the tools will take care of any task.
