Brief Explanation

The Lebanese women prefer shopping on their own and they normally decline any store assistance service. In order to overcome this barrier we created a “Help Room”.

The Brief

In-store announcement of the Personal Assistance Service in Depeche Mode; a concept store.

How the final design was conceived

The permanent installation is a small fitting room with white walls, one huge mirror, one chair and one help button. All connected with a huge mural leading from the customer (seated) all the way to the Help button. Upon pressing the help button a neon sign lights up on the outside signaling the “stylist” to enter the room to provide assistance. “entre nous” is chosen as a signal to enhance confidence and privacy.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

A noticeable increase in Lebanese women selecting the "stylist" program.
