Nature-inspired retail concepts entice consumers by creating environments that feel unobtrusive and welcoming. Whether the incorporation of greenery has functional applications such as vertical gardening or is merely to inspire thoughts of being outside, the use of lush plant life as an enriching ethereal experience surely adds to the overall customer experience.
Kaktus Kobenhavn is a Copenhagen-based cacti emporium that sources all of its product from a greenhouse just outside of the city. The captivating space is mesmerizing as well as inviting, and the images of the quaint store are enough to imagine living there yourself.
Separately, over-the-top merchandising schemes that incorporate large-scale elements sourced from nature such as a hallow tree trunk give any retail space a dramatic, theatrical feel.
