The most beautiful thing I have seen in a shop
An antique safe from the 19th century, a unique and hard-to-find product displayed in a shop.
Have the outlets changed over the years? And if so, how
The transformation of retail was crucial for business continuity. This transformation, which is still in progress, involves the inclusion of ancillary product sectors alongside the traditional homeware world; financial and personal services as well as online trade have also been important.
Advice for shops that want to continue to grow
A strong focus on modernising the layout. In my opinion, tomorrow's consumers prefer to enter shops where products are contextualised in settings, rather than in a traditional display window. This makes it possible to give preference to products that best interpret personal taste and lifestyle over individual purchases, approaching the concept of “Taylor Made”.
