The Art of Display

A great display can make or break a space. It is something that we put a

great deal of consideration into in our shop, which is
Visual Merchandising. It involves preparation of floor plans and
three-dimensional displays in order to maximize sales, such is

Visual merchandising a practice in the retail industry of developing

to attract, engage, and motivate the customer towards making a
purchase.

But it is also something to be considered in the home. For it to be

inviting, liveable, convey a story of the owner or occupants and as
an inspiration for others. THIS IS YOUR FUTURE JOB.

HISTORY
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, displaying art was used to
educate the eye, emphasizing the formal qualities of a work or
encouraging viewers to look closely at the material nature of an object.
At the same time, display could have a significant impact on symbolic
meanings as well, affecting the political, social, or cultural significance of
a work of art.
