The bookshop zone: shelving bays and table display for books, magazines and media, where the cover is the product and the shelf has to show it rather than merely carry it.
Why this
The cover is the productBooks and magazines sell on the cover. The bays have acrylic barriers that hold the front out rather than showing the spine.
The view across the departmentLower bays at 1340 and 1473 mm where the customer needs to get their bearings. A book department you cannot see over becomes a maze.
A table in the middle of the floorA 1000 × 1000 mm cube module with an advertisement holder, for new titles and campaigns that should be reached from all four sides.
A multi-level bookshelf, 1930 mm high, in four widths, with acrylic barriers. The barriers hold the books upright so the cover shows — which is the whole reason books are not sold from an ordinary shelf.
A tall bay, 2300 × 1500 mm, with acrylic shelves in a metal frame, dividers and a protection bumper. Acrylic casts less shadow into the shelf, which matters when the product is printed matter.
