Modular Retail

Fold-away stores allow retailers an easy way to move locations

Implications - Over the past couple of years, pop-up stores have been allowing retailers to quickly test their products with convenience and efficiency in many different areas. Now, store designers are recognizing the importance of modular design when it comes to temporary -- and in some cases, permanent -- retail. Creating a modular physical store allows for it to be deconstructed and reconstructed quickly, which saves time when it comes to moving locations, and it also allows retailers to reuse materials, thereby saving costs.

Trend Themes

  1. Modular Design — The trend of modular physical stores allows retailers to reuse materials and reconstruct them quickly, thereby saving time and costs when moving locations.
  2. Pop-up Establishments — The growing trend of pop-up establishments like cafes and shops are designed to create an eye-catching modular design that can be easily deconstructed, transported, set up and attract customer attention.
  3. Parametric Design — The functional trend of parametric design allows space to turn into a game where users' sight shifts from an object to another discovering the design inside.

Industry Implications

  1. Retail Design — The Retail Design industry can reference the trend of modular physical stores to create temporary or permanent stores that meet the retailers' changing needs, save costs, and attract new customer bases.
  2. Event Planning — The Event Planning industry can reference the trend of pop-up establishments to create an attention-grabbing modular design at festivals, concerts, and other events that attract customer attention, be easily transported and set up.
  3. Architectural Design — The Architectural Design industry can reference the trend of parametric design to create reconfigurable and adaptable designs that offer an eye-catching geometrical look inside and can be adapted to different dimension requirements.
