Custom Retail Displays for Marc Jacobs: A Vibrant Addition to NYC Stores
Introduction to the Project
We have the pleasure of working with Marc Jacobs, a design company that offers clothing, fragrances, accessories, and more through their stores worldwide. Our team has fabricated numerous retail displays for their stores, and this particular project was no exception.
The Client's Request
Marc Jacobs approached us with a request to create 5-sided acrylic displays using fluorescent acrylic colors. They wanted a "pop" of color to enhance their NYC stores, and we immediately thought of our fluorescent acrylic options. These vibrant colors are known for their unique ability to glow when light hits the polished edges, making them an ideal choice for creating eye-catching displays.
Pictured are both Fluorescent Orange Acrylic and Fluorescent Pink Acrylic, which were specifically chosen for this project to bring energy and excitement to the retail space.
Fabrication Process
The fabrication process began with cutting down the acrylic sheets to the required dimensions. Each piece was then meticulously prepared for the gluing process. This preparation involved sanding the edges to achieve a smooth finish, followed by buffing them to a pristine polish. The polished edges not only enhance the overall appearance but also ensure a strong bond during the gluing process.
Gluing the pieces together is a time-consuming and delicate task. Our acrylic fabrication team carefully adhered all sides to the base of the plexiglass boxes, ensuring perfect alignment and a seamless finish. Depending on the quantity and complexity of the project, lead times for custom fabrications like this can range from one to four weeks. This particular project took approximately three weeks to complete.
Final Thoughts
The end result was a series of stunning, vibrant displays that perfectly met the client's vision. The fluorescent acrylic boxes added the desired "pop" of color to Marc Jacobs' NYC stores, creating a visually striking element that draws in customers. Our client was thrilled with the outcome, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with them on future projects.
