National Geographic Stores

This National Geographic Store was meant to evoke the excitement of travel and the wonder of award winning photography. Large back lit images at the storefront drew one into a warm inviting space to explore. A band of nature photography ran around the perimeter, above the fixtures. Light maple wood fixturing really set off the colors of the merchandise.

The central feature of the space was a recessed revolving globe of the earth set into a starry sky lit night sky. Behind the custom curved cashwrap was an identity wall made of back lit onyx stone with the NG logo and mission statement. A 3D printed map of the actual location the store was in was another feature prominently displayed. Furthermore a compass rose depicting true north was inset into a terrazzo floor. A large screen broadcast the NG channel and promoted their DVd's for sale.
