The Ask
Hunter was looking to create a new retail environment to pay homage to the brand’s origin - the Scottish highlands. In order to evoke a unique sense of country, the brand envisioned their in-store space with bright, bold images of rugged terrain, unyielding conditions and those who would brave the elements with their trusted Hunter Boots.
The Solutions
Our Solutions
Working directly with the architects, the store design team and Hunter, The LOOK Company’s development group created custom lightbox installations. By using dye sublimation fabric prints in the lightboxes, the large-format graphics could achieve a colour spectrum beyond the limitations of paper substrate. The lightboxes eliminated unwanted shadows, keeping the images saturated and impactful. Overall, the retail space was immersed in imagery of the highlands, offering a backdrop for interactive product displays and highlighting key promotional messages.
