Beim neuen Shop-Concept
„Crystal Forest“ von
Swarovski wird das Thema
Schmuck deutlich forciert.
Das wird auch bei dem im

In Swarovski’s new shop
concept “Crystal Forest” the
subject of jewellery is afforded
considerably more attention.
This can also be clearly seen
in the 110-m² shop which was
opened in November 2007 in
Regent Street in London
(described in EuroShop

aus Anlass der EuroShop bietet Ihnen
diese Ausgabe von SHOP aktuell eine illustre Auswahl an aktuellen Top-Projekten
aus der internationalen Retail-Szene. Ihnen gemeinsam ist, dass Umdasch ShopConcept an der Konzeption und/oder Realisierung beteiligt war. Die Beispiele zeigen, wie sehr sich Umdasch in den letzten Jahren als globale Brand Shop Factory
etabliert hat.
Die spannende Entwicklung im Travelund Airport-Retailing und die ungenutzten
Chancen im 60+-Markt sind weitere große
Themen von SHOP aktuell 103. Nicht fehlen darf ein Überblick über die neue Generation an Systemen und Programmen,
die Umdasch in diesen Tagen und Monaten auf den Markt bringt. Was sich in den
nächsten Monaten so an einzelhandels­
relevanten Veranstaltungen tut, finden Sie
ebenfalls in dieser Ausgabe. Viel Spaß bei
der Lektüre!
Für Umdasch Shop-Concept entwickelt sich der Markt in Großbritannien und Irland besonders dynamisch.
Bereits 2005 wurde in Oxford ein neues
Büro bezogen. Die Mannschaft rund
um Ben Hiley, Anneliese Halbartschlager und Sales Director Roman Fußthaler
wird systematisch verstärkt. Nun ist
auch in Irland eine eigene Gesellschaft
gegründet worden. Die Umdasch ShopConcept Irland Limited hat ihren Sitz in
Monasterboice (Drogheda) in der Grafschaft Louth, etwa 50 km südlich von
Dublin (Details siehe Heftrückseite).
For Umdasch Shop-Concept the
market in the United Kingdom and Ireland is developing particularly rapidly.
The company moved into its new ­offices
in Oxford in 2005. The team supporting
Ben Hiley, Anneliese Halbartschlager and
Sales Director Roman Fussthaler has
been increased in size. Now a separate
company has been founded in Ireland.
The headquarters of Umdasch ShopConcept Ireland Limited are in Monasterboice (Drogheda) in the county of Louth,
some 50 km south of Dublin (For details
please see back of this magazine).
Dear Readers,
To mark the occasion of the EuroShop,
this issue of SHOP aktuell presents an exclusive selection of current top projects
from the international retail scene. What
they all have in common is that Umdasch
Shop-Concept was involved in the design
or realization. These examples show the
extent to which Umdasch has established
a reputation in recent years as a global
brand-shop factory.
Additional subjects in SHOP aktuell
103 include the fascinating developments
in travel and airport retailing and the as-yet
unexploited opportunities provided by the
60-plus market. Another important theme
is the survey of the new generation of systems and programmes which Umdasch
will be presenting over the next months.
You will also find in this issue details of the
retail events which will take place during
the next months. Happy reading!

Global Sourcing Network

Dubai is one of the nine
production centres belonging
to the Umdasch Shopfitting
Group. They are being
systematically expanded by
means of the GSN network.
Die Umdasch Shopfitting Group baut
ihr Global Sourcing Network (GSN) systematisch aus. Die 9 eigenen Fertigungsstätten in Österreich, Deutschland, der
Schweiz, Italien, Tschechien und Dubai
werden damit um zusätzliche Kapazitäten ergänzt. Neue GSN-Partner kommen etwa aus osteuropäischen Ländern und aus Asien. Um in das Netzwerk aufgenommen zu werden müssen
die Partner ein strenges Auditverfahren
– vor allem hinsichtlich Qualität und Lieferzuverlässigkeit – bestehen. Das Global Sourcing Network soll gewährleisten,
dass Umdasch-Kunden ihren jeweiligen
Anforderungen entsprechend bestmöglich bedient werden. Dabei ist der Preis
nicht das einzige, aber ein sehr gewichtiges Kriterium.
The Umdasch Shopfitting Group
is systematically expanding its Global
Sourcing Network (GSN). The company’s nine own manufacturing centres in
Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, the
Czech Republic and Dubai will be extended to provide additional capacity. They
will be joined by new GSN partners, for
example from Eastern European countries
and Asia. In order to be accepted into the
network the partners are required to pass
a stringent auditing procedure, especially with regard to quality and reliability of
delivery. The Global Sourcing Network
aims to guarantee that Umdasch customers can be served as efficiently as possible and in accordance with their individual requirements. The prize is an important, but by no means the only, criterion.
Professional
Store Check
In our rapidly changing world, consumer habits and the retail landscape
change with remarkable speed. Bearing
these facts in mind, does your shop still
meet today’s and tomorrow’s requirements? In order to answer this important
question, Umdasch has developed the
“Store Check”. This procedure examines
in professional detail your current presentation (positioning, concept, range of
goods, store layout, shop design, lighting, goods presentation etc.). If necessary, suitable measures will be proposed.
We believe that this is a small investment
in the future which it is definitely worth
making. Interested? Then please contact
“your” local Umdasch office or send an
e-mail to Umdasch directly.
The Store Check is
comprehensive and
standardized and
reveals all weak
points.

Umdasch acquires Jonas Ladenbau
With the purchase of the shopfitter Jonas, Oberhausen in autumn 2007,
the Umdasch Shopfitting Group – part
of the Umdasch Concern – continues
its expansion in the shopfitting branch.
In addition to classic shopfitting skills,
Jonas can claim particular competence
in the field of project management. This
will enable Umdasch to expand its expertise considerably in this area. There is an
increasing demand in this field, in particular from retailers and brands which
operate on the international market.
The traditional company Franz Jonas
GmbH & Co. KG with headquarters in
Oberhausen-Buschhausen has built up
an excellent reputation as an “all-inclusive shopfitter”, including construction
advice on the spot. Its customers include
famous brands. Its latest annual turnover
was some 30 million euros, which was

achieved by a staff of some 100 employees. The Umdasch Shopfitting Group
– without Jonas – achieved a turnover
of 214 million euros in 2007. Some two
thirds of this figure were contributed by
the core brand Umdasch Shop-Concept,
which operates in the non-food field; the
remaining third was achieved by the
core brand Assmann Shop Design (focal
point: food/ health and beauty articles).

cern (including Doka Formwork Technology) totalled 1,040 million euros in 2007,
thus passing the one-billion-euro mark
for the first time.
“We want to expand not only by
means of our own strength, but also
through takeovers” – was the comment
of Umdasch Managing Director Dr. Reinhold Süßenbacher with regard to the
purchase of Jonas.
The official purchaser is Umdasch
Shop-Concept GmbH in Neidenstein/
Heidelberg, the German subsidiary company of Umdasch which has just celebrated its 25th “birthday”. In future the
management of Jonas will consist of
Dieter Eichhorn, the Managing Director
of Jonas for many years, and Michael
Staller, who is also Managing Director
of Umdasch Shop-Concept GmbH, Neidenstein.

Dubai Airport Duty Free at 24.00 hours: a global trading centre.
Anti-stress programmes
in airport retailing
Coinciding with its 60th birthday, the international travel retail branch (“born” at Shannon Airport in 1947)
is currently experiencing an exceptionally dynamic phase. Although it is a highly profitable business
sector it is also very sensitive because of its susceptibility to crisis. Increasingly professional and subtle
concepts are being employed in the hope of attracting the attention of credit-card owners in spendthrift
mood. The dictate of the moment is to relieve them of all possible stress.

Travel- & Airport-Retailing
The travel retail business is worth almost 30 billion dollars
worldwide. Some two-thirds of this total is attributable to airport shopping. The turnover increased by some 8 percent
between 2005 and 2006. 09/11 and SARS have long been relegated to past history. Nonetheless, in 2007 the increased security procedures at airports caused a minor setback. Airlines are
demanding above all that the regulations relating to hand baggage and the transportation of liquids should be standardized
worldwide in a manner which is also comprehensible for passengers. Nonetheless, the dynamic development continues.
That is important, since airports increasingly rely on so-called
non-aviation revenues to compensate for the fact that the marSHOP aktuell 103
gins in flight operation are decreasing progressively, not least
as a result of the growth of the low-cost airlines. For this reason the competition among retail operators is increasing, and
a trend towards concentration can be discerned. In the gamble
for the best locations and surfaces (the so-called tender procedure) it is often the bank itself, in other words the airport, which
has the best cards.
The global Top Ten among duty-free operators in 2006 (see
Table 1) is headed by the American dfs group, followed by the
Swiss Nuance group and Gebr. Heinemann from Hamburg.
In the airport ranking by frequency of international flights

With the opening of Terminal 5 the sales area at London Heathrow will exceed the 50,000 m² mark.
(flights per week, see Table 2), Paris Charles de Gaulle lies
ahead of London Heathrow and Amsterdam Schiphol. That is,
so to speak, the potential which is available. How this frequency is exploited in the form of available sales area and attractive
presentation is another matter (see also Table 3). In the assessment of location it must also be taken into account how high
the true duty-free ratio is (or can be) in proportion to the range
of goods as a whole, since within the EU there is no real tax
advantage. In this respect, for example, the conditions offered
by Istanbul airport are quite different from those in Munich.
national) and the “Travel Retailer International” keep abreast
of the latest trends in the field and provide their readers with
up-to-date information (also electronically) at regular intervals. They report regularly on passenger frequency statistics
as well as the development of ranges of goods in the different
locations. As far as the range of goods is concerned, airports
remain the stamping ground of the major international brands,
which are present here in a density which exceeds that found
anywhere else on earth.
Constantly expanding sales areas
In general, the structures within the travel retail market are
highly transparent. This is a result not only of the leading annual fair worldwide, the TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes, but
also of a small number of highly specialized publications on the
subject. “The Moodie Report”, “DFNI” (Duty-Free News InterTable 1 – Top 10 Duty- and tax-free Operators 2006

The expansion of sales areas at airports continues apace. The
development is particularly rapid in Asia, and is directly linked
to the rapidly rising numbers of passengers at these destinations. Eastern Europe presents a similar picture. The necessity
of increasing non-aviation revenues is also leading to creative
concepts at existing locations. Wherever possible, airports are
making increasing areas available for gastronomy and shopping. In particular when it comes to the construction of new
terminals, the subject of shopping is being afforded considerably more importance than in the past. The cooperation
between airport authorities and (potential) retailers is therefore
being intensified even before construction is completed. Notable new concepts for shopping complexes have recently been
realized, for example, in Copenhagen and Istanbul, with Heinemann the main operator in both cases. The opening of Terminal 5 in London Heathrow is awaited with great interest; a
true paradise of luxury shopping and gastronomy (including
Harrods, Mulberry, Tiffany & Co.) will greet passengers here.
However, even this will be surpassed by the duty-free area of
the new airport in Dubai (Dubai World Central International Airport), which is currently under construction – despite the fact
that Dubai’s present airport is already regarded as a unique
shopping paradise.

With the Skylink terminal (due to open in 2009), Vienna Schwechat airport will double its sales area to approx. 20,000 m².
Walk-through concepts, anti-stress programmes,
authentic ranges
SHOP aktuell has spoken to airport authorities, retail operators
and the travel retail professionals of Umdasch Shop-Concept,
in order to learn about the current trends in the conception
and design of airport shopping. Particularly fashionable at the
moment are the so-called “walk-through concepts”. This refers
to the way that customers are subtly guided from the airport
entrance to the departure gates. In most cases the passenger
will suddenly find himself in the middle of the sales activity as
soon as he has passed through the boarding card and security
checks. The rest of his route towards the gate continues along
a path of temptation.
The positioning of shopping areas in the public areas of airports (“landside”) has lost something of its former dynamism.
Passengers are mostly nervous until they have completed the
compulsory programme of check-in, boarding-card inspection,
security checks and passport control if appropriate before they
can finally relax and use their remaining time for shopping “airside”. Of course, the landside shops continue to retain a certain importance for airport employees. Many airports are currently testing so-called “Arrival Shops”, which are locations as
it were for last-minute duty-free shopping upon arrival.
As far as the range of goods on offer is concerned, traditional
local items have greatly increased in popularity. In many cases, typical specialities and branded products from the country
or region in question are presented with particular prominence
in a specially designated area. Professional category management has established itself in most places, with a clear trend
towards “less is more”. That makes it easier for customers to
find their way around on the one hand, and provides financially
measurable logistic advantages on the other.

Ing. Michael Ripfl (Umdasch ShopConcept) is an expert on the
international travel retail scene. Here
he is seen speaking at a duty-free
conference in Kiev.
“With the new Skylink terminal we aim
to expand the percentage revenues
from shopping and gastronomy
towards the 40 percent mark” asserts
Dipl.-Ing. Werner Hackenberg of
Vienna International Airport.
Bébé Branss (Heinemann): “Airport
shops are increasingly being
provided with emotional content”.
“Airports are increasing the space
available for shopping and
gastronomy,” observes Markus Ettlin
(Heinemann).

To counteract the increasingly “cold” atmosphere of airports,
today gastronomy and shopping areas are frequently being
invested with emotional warmth. To achieve this they use all
the tools of shop dramaturgy and “tell a tale”. Increased emotional value can certainly be generated by a whiskey if we know
exactly where it comes from and the environmentally-friendly processes used in its manufacture. And if you can actually
sample it on the spot, the exquisitely packed and certified bottle is bound to land in your shopping basket. Lighting plays an

important part in this staging concept. It is mostly present in
abundance but is employed in a highly differentiated manner.
Above all, the repeated intensification of security measures
has driven potential customers into tense situations which act
as a brake on their desire to purchase. In order to ensure the
success of airport shopping today it is essential that passenger stress levels be reduced and the amount of time spent in
the shopping area optimized. To achieve this it is necessary

to harmonize the cooperation between airport authorities and
shop operators, not to mention with the security authorities. It
is very important that a guidance system be introduced which
will enable passengers to find their way without difficulty, and
which will permit them to navigate their way through the airport.

remaining journey to the departure gate, so that experienced

10,000 m² new shopping area at Vienna airport
Vienna Schwechat is one of those airports which has linked the
construction of a new terminal (“Skylink”) with a marked expansion of the non-aviation section. A total of 10,000 m² additional
space for shopping and gastronomy will result in a doubling of
the existing available space. It is planned that 34 new shops
and 20 new food and beverage establishments will be available within the Skylink, which will be operational from 2009.

The tax-free shops at Copenhagen Castrup airport were redesigned in 2007. Heinemann was
awarded the contract. The shopfitting was carried out by Umdasch Shop-Concept.
A central security control area, a walk-through concept and
larger sales areas per shop will provide visitors with as stressfree an experience as possible. Typically Austrian brands –
“The Best of Austria” – will be prominently presented within
their own shop. A tender procedure is being employed for the
allocation of the sales areas with a five-year contract period.
The basis for the calculation of the minimum rent will be 75 %
of the turnover as estimated by the applicants.
Vienna hopes to expand its position as an airport hub for flights
to Eastern Europe (it is currently in third position behind Frankfurt and London). With the Skylink the airport will be designed
to cope with a maximum capacity of 24 million passengers per
year. Some 45 percent of the turnover is currently achieved
in the aviation area, 30 percent in handling and 25 percent in

the field of shopping and gastronomy. The latter field is to be
expanded to approximately 40 percent, whereby an increase
in the expenditure per passenger (currently between 7 and 8
euros) will be necessary. Some 40 percent of passengers currently travel to non-Schengen destinations.
A concept for high-speed shoppers
The airport business is a fast-changing one where clever ideas
are much in demand. One of these innovations is the SWIFT

tight time schedule and transit passengers are the main target

SHOP Portrait
Rodney Fitch
Rodney Fitch, retail design
ambassador
The man whose name appears over one of London’s biggest retail design businesses continues to show the way
for many others. John Ryan presents a portrait of Rodney Fitch for SHOP aktuell.
This is to belie the essential fact about Fitch however, which
is that this is a design consultancy with an unerring focus on
retailing with names such as Lego, Harrods and Best Buy all
benefiting. And at the heart of this empire is the man whose
name is over the door – Rodney Fitch, the company’s chairman.
Creative chaos provides inspiration for work
On entering Fitch’s offices, you might be forgiven for thinking that Fitch, the man, would be sequestered in a minimalist
white office surrounded by hi-tech gadgets while creative types
paced backwards and forwards showing him the latest concepts for a new store chain in, say, Kazakhstan.
But at a considerable distance from reception you are finally
taken out of the hubbub of the design studio and ushered into
the glass-fronted, cluttered office of Rodney Fitch. Dominating this space is a table with several chairs. It is clear that Fitch
uses this as an informal boardroom where decisions regarding the Kazakhstan chain can be taken. The room has been
personalized to a degree not normally found in the offices of
chairmen – there are paintings, sketches and books all over the
place and the table is piled high with documents of different
shapes and sizes. One thing is obvious: Fitch does not operate
an entirely clean desk policy.
According to Rodney Fitch, inspiration, conviction, optimism and innovation
are the main components of the “Fitch DNA”.
And just as you are settling down to enjoy the cup of coffee that
has been offered, the door opens and Fitch himself appears. It
is in fact relatively unusual to catch him in the London office. A
typical week for Fitch might involve traveling to the American
headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, hopping on another plane to
take part in a conference on Middle East retailing in Dubai and
finally back to London on a Friday. But here he is and it is clear
that he is master of all he surveys.
Back on top after stormy times
Walk into the swish offices of Fitch in London and things are
pretty much as you’d expect. This is a design consultancy with
outposts around the globe and with a client list and contacts
that many firms can only dream of. To an extent, the reception
area looks like a merchant bank in the City of London with a dot
matrix ticker display providing details of stockmarket ­prices,
copies of the FT scattered around and brightly-­coloured chairs
allowing visitors comfortable repose while they wait to be
seen.

But things haven’t always been like this. Fitch only rejoined the
company that he founded in 1972, in 2004, after a nine-year
absence. Prior to 1994, when he quit the eponymous consultancy, he had been at the helm of a concern that had been
the first design company to get a London stock exchange listing and which had created interiors for almost every UK high
street name.
Originally, Fitch had worked alongside that other titan of the
design world, Sir Terence Conran, and following a manageSHOP aktuell 103
SHOP Portrait
Rodney Fitch
ment buyout he bought the latter’s Conran Design Group (CDG)
in 1972, of which he had been managing director since 1968.
On completion of the buyout, CDG changed name to Fitch &
Company and the die was set. Fitch comments: “When I first
started, I thought that I wanted to be an architect and worked
in an architect’s office for a while.” He adds that the charm of
retail environmental design soon exercised its call upon him
however and by the time of the CDG buyout the course that he
was going to take had become clear.
A twenty-two year stint as the company’s head man was followed by a falling-out and in 1994, Fitch walked away from
Fitch. He founded rival design company Rodney Fitch & Company in the same year with backing from Virgin boss Richard Branson; another name in his extensive contact book.
Nine more years passed, Rodney Fitch & Company went into
receivership and a lot of water passed under the bridge. Then,
in 2004, after a period in which Fitch also worked for London
design consultancy-cum-shopfitter Portland, the homecoming occurred.
Quite a lot had changed since he had left and the firm that he
rejoined was going through a bit of a barren patch. It is a mark
of the resilience of man and organization however that Fitch is
today back on top again and is one of only two or three names
that is likely to make it to the top of any pitch list that is being
compiled by a retailer.
An institution without expiry date
Much of this is down to the role that has been adopted by Rodney Fitch. As well as acting as the company’s grand old man,
full of the design wisdom of somebody who has been in the
business since the 1960s, Fitch is also a roving ambassador
for the Fitch creed. Practically this does mean dealing with a
lot of different types of bodies and companies in widely-varying locations.
“I think that private equity is a terrible thing, it is no good for
retail,” says Fitch when talking about the changes that have
taken place on our high streets. Clearly, as well as being a
design emissary, this is a man of strong opinions, who continues to keep tabs on the changing face of modern retailing.
Ask about any retailer or retail trend and the chances are good
that Fitch will have something to say about it. And he continues to be the face that people associate with the brand. His
2004 return to the fold has therefore been good, both for man
and company. Fitch, the consultancy, is on a high currently, in

Over the past decades Rodney Fitch had to overcome various hurdles in the

anyone else in the branch.
the UK and internationally, and Fitch the designer is once more
leading the charge. He is proof that age is no barrier to continued success. Turn up at any gathering where he is speaking
and the predominantly young audience is rapt.
Rodney Fitch has steered a canny path through the ups and
downs of the retail design industry over the last forty or so
years and shows absolutely no signs of slowing down. umdasch shop-concept

The Umdasch Shopfitting Group with its core brands Umdasch Shop-Concept and Assmann Shop

sensuously staged product world presenting trends in food and non-food shopfitting.

Based on the trade fair motto “tasteandstyle”, Umdasch will
present six themed constributions (retail brands) with a number
of innovations in the fields of both products and systems. The
Assmann brand focuses on settings for goods ranges from the
field of convenience, wellness and fitness. Umdasch ShopConcept operates in the sectors fashion, beauty and accessories. The eye-catching circular architecture will be dominated by suspended cylinders which are covered in gold-coloured drapes. The atmospheric lighting effects will heighten
the overall dramatic effect. Umdasch has established a partnership with the company RZB Leuchten especially for the
EuroShop. The concept and design are the work of the communications agency Section.d. and LabVert, a young partnership of architects, both based in Vienna. The themes, systems
and programmes come from the development departments of
Umdasch and Assmann.

requirements of architects and designers for systems which
can be used in different ways and adapted to suit the brand
design in question.
tive feature is the RZB large-surface spotlight, which provides
the customer’s path through the store with colour-driven spatial lighting. Within each contribution, individual solutions have
been designed and adjusted to blend with each other to provide
lighting accents for goods presentation, general lighting for the
overall sales area and contour lighting for the ­furnishings. At Assmann, ALL4one is the new common platform of the
former A family, which can be used in different system versions.
The range includes A30, A30 lite, A25 and A25 lite. ALL4one
includes a system of uprights which can be inserted into each
other, with a choice of central or pre-mounted unit backs and
complete compatibility between the wire and sheet elements
with a single dividing system. What makes the system quite
different is the fact that the height of the shelves is adjustable,
rather than the appearance of the slits. For example, System
A25 permits the shelves to be adjusted at intervals of 25 mm.
The partnership with RZB Leuchten was established specially
for the EuroShop. It provides the Umdasch presentation and
the individual theme areas with a particularly realistic and innovative lighting concept. Among the interesting new features will
be found, for example, the track spotlight id entity, which can

more interested in lifestyle and fashion than high-performance
sports. 53° North does not market its own products, but sells
brands like Nike, North Face, Quicksilver, Oakley, Timberland,
Oxbow... The shop in the Blanchardstown Centre is 53° North’s
second project to be completed. The company plans to open
additional stores in Ireland in the future. It has set its sights on
shopping centres or good inner-city locations, where largish
sales areas are available.
Umdasch Shop-Concept was able to demonstrate its wideranging shopfitting expertise in the execution of this project
– from consultancy and planning to manufacture and installation. The entrance is particularly eye-catching. A mountain
which forms the shop-window and checkout/ service area, and
the gigantic surfing wave to the right of the entrance, transport
the visitor immediately into the outdoor world. The twin highlights make 53° North instantly recognizable from the outside.
Nike fans will not want to miss the only ACG Flagship Store of

Umdasch developed an individual setting to appeal to this particular group. The long, narrow floor area presented a special
challenge. The witty design solution takes the form of serpentine elements which catch the customer’s attention as they
wend their way through the sales area and skilfully divide the
range of goods into sections. The further you progress into the
shop, the more strongly these ribbon-like elements become
interlinked. The aim is to arouse the interest of the customer
and encourage him to continue into the interior of the store
and thus to explore the areas at the back as well. The lighting
effects on the back walls of the shop contribute to the way in
which the store attracts the attention of shoppers as they pass
by along Mary Street.
Best sells men’s fashion and attaches great importance to a clearly
structured range of goods. In Mary Street the “casual” department is on the
ground floor and “formal” wear on the first floor.

Calvin Klein
The new concept “Prima Linea” is based on the typical brand elements of
the parent company. It is displayed to good effect both in Madrid ...
… and in Valencia thanks to the use of high-quality
materials and a flexible store design.
Calvin Klein
Exclusive test run
The Calvin Klein brand was founded in 1968 by the worldfamous fashion designer. Since 2002 it has been a member
of the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation, which also includes
renowned brands such as Kenneth Cole and Michael Kors.
“Prima Linea” is a new concept for sales areas for the Calvin
Klein Collection. Under the direction of Calvin Klein Europe
the concept was first tested in Spain and is displayed to good
effect in the recently opened shop-in-shops of the El Corte
Ingles department stores. “Prima Linea” retains its loyalty to
the CK audience and appeals to an upper-crust market segment of customers who appreciate carefully selected, exclusive design.
The new shop-in-shops are designed for maximum flexibility
in the presentation of goods. This approach is also supported
by the metal centre-store elements which permit infinite combinations together with goods presentation to mirror the season. The open-plan room design allows for an excellent overall
view of the entire range. The selected materials and furnishing
elements reflect the exclusivity of the brand. Umdasch ShopConcept was involved as shopfitter in the two test projects in
Valencia and Madrid.

Esprit
Global Player in Lifestyle
A “Global Player in Lifestyle” is the way Esprit describes itself
on its own website. It is certainly true that the company, with
its American roots, its placement on the Hong Kong stock
exchange and its actual company management headquarters in Ratingen near Düsseldorf, is one of the most successful
fashion labels of our time. The company operates in 40 countries on all five continents. More than 640 locations are run by
Esprit itself, which is also present at some 12,000 franchise
partnerships.
Esprit operates a perfect example of store branding. The brand
content is transferred consistently to all aspects of market and
brand communication. “Modern but not too trendy” is the basic
concept in the design of the shops, in order to ensure that the
setting does not outshine the goods. In the goods presentation itself, nothing is left to chance. The visual display department produces meticulously detailed, binding “guidelines”
which form the basis for the visual merchandising. The result
can also be seen in the Esprit store in Geneva. For some years
now Jonas Ladenbau, the new member of the Umdasch Shopfitting Group, and Umdasch Shop-Concept have been reliable
partners in the realization of Esprit stores.

Gigasport
Since synthetic panels have been
employed in the façade design it was not
possible to fix the shopfitting elements to
the outside wall. A flexible system of
moveable elements was devised instead.
Gigasport
The name of the game
Under the appropriate name of Gigasport, Kastner & Öhler markets its sports range as professionally as it does its departmentstore business. The latest sports store in Klagenfurt is a striking
example. Having moved from the city centre to the outskirts of
town, it now has almost twice as much floor area at its disposal.
With more space for both service and atmosphere the customer
can thus experience a more authentic sports and outdoor feeling. In its new store, Gigasport aims to concentrate more on the
outdoor field. The target group at which it is aiming ranges from
the enthusiastic beginner to the ambitious hobby sportsman.
“There are no corners and no right angles in Nature”, comments
Kastner & Öhler’s director, Mag. Thomas Böck. That explains
why the building was constructed in the shape of a wave with an
exterior wall which is translucent virtually throughout. The main
architectural idea continues throughout the interior. The dividing walls go with the flow of the building and consist of illuminated bent frames. The promise of more atmosphere and more
service is fulfilled with a mountain-bike parcours in the ski and
cycling section as well as an artificial cliff where you can try out
your climbing boots, a climbing wall for children and a mountain hut in the raised outdoor area. Through the use of materials
and textures to create design details an attempt has been made
to present the wares as attractively as possible in an emotional
setting.

Haas
The secret of the
pyramids
“Haas neu(!)” has invested some 2.3 million euros in the redesign of its shopping paradise for electrical goods on the
northwestern outskirts of Vienna. A certain amount of building work was necessary to extend the sales area to 4,500 m²; a
panorama lift was integrated, a spacious roof constructed over
the parking spaces, and the “rather dilapidated” shopfittings
completely redesigned and expanded to include an innovative,
permanently adjustable lighting concept. With these preconditions the electrical store with its two prominent pyramids can
make ideal use of its long-standing strength: the uncompromising emphasis on advice and service. Nowhere else is the
balancing act between (spacious) sales area, first-class advice
and competitive prices orchestrated with such mastery.
The concept is admirably supported by the new shopfitting design. Clearly structured sections and low central areas assist customers to find their way around. Goods are presented according to the LIM principle (Less is More); the visual
information about products, services and prices is self-explanatory. Nonetheless, the customer’s right to ask for advice is
prominently presented via clearly labelled service islands. The
comfortable atmosphere (alabaster shades, olive wood, grey
carpet) heightens the congenial mood.

Consistency is called for: in the presentation of its ranges of footwear Humanic
follows clearly defined rules. Generous spaces for resting and trying on the shoes

Humanic
Fashion leader in shoes
and accessories
As one of the largest shoe retailers in Europe, Humanic – a subsidiary of LEDER & SCHUH International AG – presents international shoe fashion at more than 300 locations in seven countries. Humanic is also a trendsetter in business architecture,
presentation and service. This means that, after being tracked
down by trend scouts in fashion centres like Milan, Paris, New
York and London, the international shoe fashion is presented to
the public on an effective stage. International designer brands
like Tommy Hilfiger, Boss, Geox, Pat Calvin, Unisa, Vigneron,
Lacoste etc. fulfil the requirements of fashion-conscious consumers who always prefer to wear Shoemanic styles.
Stores in prominent locations, ultra-modern shop design, a
carefully planned customer-orientation system, and the wide
range of goods: these are the characteristics of Humanic. The
shops are stages which create space for constantly changing
presentations of goods. The expert use of colours and lighting plays an important role here, as does the communication
via pictures and accessories as well as the arousing of emotions. A successful example of Humanic style will be found in
the castle arcades of the ECE Centre in Braunschweig. The
project was executed by Umdasch Shop-Concept, which has
been Humanic’s shopfitting partner for many years.

Levi's
In its Paris flagship store Levi’s provides an unmistakable visual presentation of the brand’s cult status.
Levi's
Impressive homage to the
brand
Founded in 1853 by Levi Strauss, the company which made
jeans socially acceptable remains proud of its origins to this
day. The trend-setting image is one which can be put to good
use. Levi’s appeals to a youthful, self-confident target group
and therefore favours locations which reflect its market image.
Rue Etienne Marcel, an important shopping street in Paris, fits
the bill perfectly and thus was chosen as the setting for the
new flagship store. France is, in fact, Levi’s biggest market in
Europe.
Within the Paris store, the strong identification with Levi's roots
is clearly communicated. As you go up and down the stairs
the story of the popular brand is narrated on the copper-clad
walls. Throughout the store the visual presentation of the brand
is executed to good effect. The dividing walls of the changing rooms are made of denim. From the sliding doors near the
checkouts to the floor, the famous “two-horse” logo is is virtually omnipresent. The basic idea behind the store design and
the associated choice of materials (dark wooden flooring, varnished oak furnishings, stainless steel trim) is clearly linked to
the motto “Back to the roots”.

With George Clooney as its testimonial, Nespresso has conquered women’s hearts. That coffee-lovers also like Nespresso can be gathered from the following messages on the company website: Nespresso is the worldwide pioneer and market
leader for coffee pads, as well as the European market leader for espresso machines and one of the most rapidly growing companies within the Nestlé group. A constant striving for
top coffee quality accompanies the success story. In the Ulitsa Petrovka, a prosperous shopping street in Moscow, coffee
lovers can convince themselves of the particular charms of the
brand.
In the boutique, which extends across a floor area of 230 m²,
the store branding has been executed to remarkable perfection. The shopfittings are in gleaming white and varnished
sapelli on wenge, involuntarily recalling the milk foam on the
top of a cup of cappuccino. The capsule colours representing
the 12 different roasting strengths can also be repeatedly discovered in the shop. Those who are interested can learn about
the process of roasting coffee and examine the different roasting stages. A detour to the boutique bar is a delight for eye and
palate. Customers can order a wide variety of coffee variations
as well as a range of small snacks.
In more than 40
boutiques and boutique
bars, which are to be
found in many cities
throughout the world,
visitors can embark on
a fascinating journey
through the world of
Nespresso.

The Paris Gallery, part of the Al Fahim Group, is one of the
leading retail companies in the Gulf region. Paris Gallery
shops are luxury department stores selling exclusive international brands. They focus in particular on cosmetics, clocks,
jewellery and top-quality accessories. Since 2005 Umdasch
Shop-Concept has realized a number of successful projects
with Paris Gallery. The shopping centres in Dubai and Abu
Dhabi are established locations. Umdasch was responsible for
one of these remarkable projects in the Mirdif Uptown Centre
in Dubai.
Extending across a floor area of 3,200 m², the Paris Gallery
attracts customers with its blend of modern goods presentation, spacious layout and brilliant colour accents. In line with
the goods on display, the shopfittings are of the highest quality. The main features are glass vitrines and display tables with
valuable surfaces. Separate sections set in the niches recall
treasure houses. The lighting plays an important part in the
overall concept. A “starry sky” provides the background lighting, while indirect lighting lends the store a dramatic additional atmosphere. Focused light in the vitrines adds to the air of
exclusivity of the precious items on display.
In the niches lie the
“treasure houses”,
which are arranged
in groups
according to the

Sportland, with its seven branches, is a local player on the
North Italian retail scene. Until recently, the company operated via locations in shopping centres and on the outskirts of
towns. With its new flagship store in Verona it has now established a presence in a city-centre location. Fashions, shoes
and accessories are presented first and foremost to a fashion-conscious clientèle. Customers can choose from a pool of
famous brands, which extends from Nike, Puma and Adidas to
Lacoste and Calvin Klein.
The store design is a sophisticated blend of elegance and contemporary style. The former is guaranteed by the high-quality materials (exclusive wallpaper, presentation furniture in oak
veneer...). A stylish highlight is the two-part ceiling. The light,
suspended element is designed to give the customer a feeling
of lightness. The arched open spaces serve as a contrast and
lead the eye upwards towards the dark ceiling of the bulding

Around the world with
Crystal Forest
The magic word at Swarovski is “crystal”. From the mid1970s the Tyrol-based company founded in 1895 focused on
an exceptionally sparkling facet of the fascinating substance,
including ready-made crystal products for jewellery, accessories and home decor items in addition to the famous crystal
figures. Today, the glamorous range is offered for sale in more
than 1,150 shops around the world. The new “Crystal Forest”
shop design places increased emphasis on the subject of jewellery. The company’s presentation is correspondingly modern
and exclusive, as can be seen in its store in Regent Street in
London.
The shop is a crystal universe, decked out in sober white, puristic, with crystalline surfaces – and yet by no means cold in
appearance. New, high-quality materials, gleaming lacquer
surfaces, a floor of Pandomo cast concrete and specially
developed LED lighting determine the atmosphere. Horizontally aligned wall vitrines tell their own product story in miniature. Vertical vitrines cover an entire theme. The low vitrines in
the centre of the store serve as presentation and display units.
Umdasch Shop-Concept has recently fitted out several “Crystal Forests”, including the projects in Tokyo and London.

The centre is open until 10 p.m. (Monday-Saturday) and
achieved an average of 50,000 visitors per day during the first
three months. Employing huge atmospheric pictures and other
relevant accessories, Thalia has taken as its theme “Berlin in
the 1920s”. In this manner the Berlin store continues the triedand-tested concept of core-brand architecture enlivened with
location-specific details. Warm colours, lots of wood, carpeted floors, plaster ceilings with integrated lighting and Art-Deco
elements lend the setting a living-room character. The ceilings
on all three floors are almost 5 metres high, which provides
plenty of space for well-designed presentations.
Thalia also profits from the large

Katharina J. Srnka on
the research project
“Retail 60-plus”
The needs of older consumers with regard to the shops of the future are of considerable importance for Umdasch
Shop-Concept. ShopConsult by Umdasch, the management consultant division of the Umdasch Shopfitting
Group, is therefore carrying out a wide-ranging study on this subject in co-operation with the University of Vienna.
The project leader is Prof. Katharina J. Srnka. Her previous research has already included a detailed investigation
into the subject of consumer behaviour and the quality of life of older target groups. The first results of the study
are now available. In the following discussion, Martin Schnöller and Prof. Srnka examine this fascinating topic.
pleasure taken in shopping and a greater chance that the customer will return
– thus leading to an improved turnover.
These economic objectives are especially interesting for Umdasch.
By involving Dr. Katharina Srnka,
Umdasch acquired the assistance
of an expert in marketing and the
elderly.
What are the objectives of the project
“Retail 60-plus”?
Our current project “Retail 60-plus”
has several objectives. For those of us
involved in the research it is primarily a question of arriving at a theoretical
basis for concrete measures which will
lead to an improvement in the quality of
life of the consumers. I believe that any
such improvements in the quality of life
resulting from putting these insights into
practice will represent a desirable contribution to society at large. If the special requirements of older consumers
are taken into account more effectively
through the modification of shopfitting
design, we can also expect to see positive results for retailers as well. These
may include an extension of the time
spent in the shop, an increase in the
50
umdasch shop-concept
Which measures will need to be
adopted in order to at tain these
objectives?
We are carrying out an empirical study
in several stages according to the latest state-of-the-art theories of market
research. First of all we compare older
target groups with younger ones with
regard to their attitude towards various
aspects of shop design. Then we investigate whether there are differences within this older group between the “younger” ones, in other words those aged
between 60-69 years, and the “older”
group aged 70-79 years. We also compare this age group with the so-called
“pre-senior citizens”, in other words
those aged between 50 and 59 years.
We are also interested in the effects of
different assessments of the shop environment on affective and cognitive pro­
cesses as well as on the behaviour of
customers in the shop itself.
Referring to their consumer potential, older consumers are known as
the Gold Generation, Baby Boomers,
Best Agers or Master Consumers etc.
These terms are generally applied
to the generation aged 50-plus. You
draw the dividing line, however, at 60plus.
Today’s generation aged 50-plus are the
so-called “Best Agers”; in scientific literature they are also sometimes referred to
as “pre-senior citizens”. I regard it as a
gross over-simplication to include them
in the older target group! Nowadays,
people of 50-plus are definitely not old!
To put it quite simply, this group is just
a bit older than the previous core target group! Age is a very complex phenomenon, which we take into account
in our study in two different ways. Firstly, we include people of all ages – apart
from children, teenagers and the very
elderly – in our observations. And secondly we do not base our investigation
exclusively on chronological age, but
also take into account other aspects of
age such as biological, social and especially psychological or “emotional” age.
In our analysis we make comparisons
between all aspects of age. The 60-plus
barrier results from the convergence of
several factors linked to these aspects of
aging. In addition to the first biological
limitations, this is also the decade during
which important age-related processes
begin as a result of retirement.
The central element of “Retail 60plus” is a study whose results are
to be published this spring to mark
the EuroShop. What exactly is being
researched using scientific methods?
We are interested in the way that the various design elements in the shop environment – for example the way the room
is arranged or the lighting – influence
the principal factors for the purchaser,
in other words the comfort of the shopping experience, as well as the orientation and the atmosphere within the shop.
In particular we aim to find out to what
extent differences between the various age groups exist, and which conseSHOP aktuell 103
SHOP Talk
“I regard it as a gross over-simplication simply to include over-50s in the older target group! Nowadays, people of 50-plus are

quences result from the correspondingly different assessments made by older
customers in the shop as regards their
feelings, thoughts and behaviour. We
then want to use qualitative techniques
to identify the main problem factors and
to find possible approaches for concrete
improvements. A prime aim is to eliminate stress factors and to increase the
customer’s subjective feeling of wellbeing by means of appropriate stimuli.
We assume that the resulting improvements will produce a positive reaction
not only in the older target groups.
The most important element is presumably the development of the questionnaire.
That is an impor tant point. We ap­proached this subject on a number of
levels. We have incorporated all aspects
of shop design which could be identified in literature, and then compressed
them into five theoretical “dimensions”.
These include “layout”, by which we
mean the building as such, “design”, in
other words the way the shop is laid out,
and factors relating to atmosphere such
as lighting and aromas, which we look
at under the heading “ambience”. We
SHOP aktuell 103
have extended these three “dimensions”,
which are encountered time and again in
current theoretical models, by two additional factors: “assortment” and “people”. They refer on the one hand to the
range of goods on offer and, on the other, to the people in the shop environment:
staff, other customers and the density of
people present, which is regarded as a
negative factor. We then discussed our
list with the people at Umdasch and Assmann with practical experience in order
to check whether we had covered everything.
Overall, then, we can say that we have
tried to use as much theoretical knowledge as possible from scientific literature. We have also used our own recently acquired empirical knowledge and the
practical experience of our project partner, in order to draw up as comprehensive a questionnaire as possible.
The study is based on surveys made
on location. According to which criteria did you select the shops?
That was really quite difficult. It would
have been interesting from a scientific point of view and also informative for
Umdasch to compare as many differ-
ent branches as possible. But we can
only progress one step at a time. After
lengthy consideration we decided on the
food retail branch and we selected two
branches of a chain. One of the branches was a “normal” shop and the other
was the company’s flagship store. The
comparison aimed to show the extent to
which the particular design of the flagship store met the requirements of the
older target groups. In future we plan to
carry out further surveys with Umdasch
in other food and non-food shops.
The project is concerned with lifestyle and quality of life. Psychological
factors play an important role here.
For you as a scientist, what are the
most interesting aspects of “Retail
60-plus”?
As you rightly say, psychological aspects
play a central role in our investigation. We are interested in particular in
the emotional and cognitive processes
involved. By emotional processes we
mean the experience of the shop and
the goods and services on offer there.
The cognitive processes, on the other
hand, relate to the assessment of the
goods and services on offer. For the
umdasch shop-concept

retail branch it is essential to understand
which elements should be taken into
account in the shop design in order to
arrive at as positive a shopping experience as possible and therefore a positive
assessment of the shop and the goods
on offer. These aspects clearly influence
the purchasing behaviour of the customers and therefore how satisfied they are
with the shop and their purchases. From
a scientific point of view we are interested in particular in the way in which the
different “dimensions” of the shop environment, in other words the “layout”,
“design”, “ambience”, “assortment” and
“people”, affect the perception of the
comfort of the purchase experience,
that is to say the “convenience”, the
ease of orientation within the shop (“orientation”), and the atmosphere of the
shop (“atmosphere”). To date, the interplay between these elements has not
been investigated in this complexity. By
means of our survey of these interlinked
subjects we hope to arrive at important
theoretical conclusions. In subject literature, the themes which are repeatedly raised with regard to older consumers are above all shopping comfort and
orientation. On the other hand the shop
52
umdasch shop-concept
atmosphere is a way of setting oneself
apart from competitors among the different groups of customers. A deeper
understanding therefore seems to be
required, especially with regard to this
third dimension!
Another particularly interesting aspect
is without doubt the results from the
comparison of different age groups with
regard to their different attitudes to the
various dimensions in our model. Apart
from the comparison between older
and younger age groups we can expect
interesting results from the comparison
between the different sub-groups of older consumers – in other words “pre-senior citizens”, “young pensioners” and
“older pensioners”. To date, such comparisons have hardly ever been carried
out – they can also be expected to reveal
different segments within the group of
elderly consumers. Completely new,
too, is our approach, in that in addition to
comparisons on the basis of chronological age we also include the biological,
social and psychological age of the participant. These analyses may well show
that when it comes to the feeling of comfort in the shop and the assessment of
what is on offer there the age in years is
far less important than how old a person
feels him or herself to be, or how mobile
and healthy they are. Correspondingly,
for example, measures relating to shopfitting or marketing communication could
be used to influence the psychological
age of the customers, so that they feel
younger and act accordingly.
Umdasch hopes that the results from
the project “Retail 60-plus” can be
translated into shop design. So-called
common sense would already seem
to indicate that such criteria exist.
Do you think that “Retail 60-plus” will
lead to new insights?
Studies of consumer behaviour have
been limited in many cases to negative
factors, such as declining health and
mobility in advanced age. But for us it is
important not only to face up to the negative effects of aging, but also to progress
beyond these aspects in order to influence actively and in a positive manner
the quality of life of aging consumers. As
already mentioned, we examine the various “dimensions” of aging. Against the
background of the preliminary tests for
this study and our experience from previous investigations we therefore expect to

arrive at far-reaching new insights within
the framework of the study “Retail 60plus”. We expect concrete suggestions
for improvements to shop design from
the qualitative information gained within
the framework of this study of both positive and negative factors affecting the
purchasing process, as well as desirable
changes. We also think that the comparison of criticism and wishes of the older group of customers with those of the
younger target group seems very promising. In this manner we can identify
any possible potential for improvement
which will bring advantages for different
age groups.
Are there any retail branches which
particularly need to improve their
image with regard to their attractivity for older consumers, or is it rather
a case of individual concepts which
need to be studied?
In my view, the entire retail branch needs
to become increasingly sensitive to the
needs of older target groups. However, as far as I can see, decision-makers
still know relatively little about them and
what their specific requirements are. The
food retail branch is certainly confronted
SHOP aktuell 103
with this problem and has already faced
the challenge it presents more frequently
than many other branches. But in various
retail spheres we are already encountering individual retailers who are making
a concerted attempt to reduce barriers.
However these attempts remain isolated
and are based on the intuitive considerations you previously mentioned rather
than on the results of systematic studies.
That is why I believe that the extension of
the study which we plan with Umdasch
into the non-food sphere will produce
further important results! “What is completely new is our approach in that – in addition to comparisons
based on chronological age – we also take into account other factors such as
biological, social and especially the psychological age.“

The path towards a

Die ESÜDRO AG ist eine der führenden deutschen DrogerieEinkaufsgesellschaften mit Sitz in Hockenheim. Rund 1.800
Drogisten werden heute betreut. Für den stark wachsenden
OTC- und Kosmetik-Markt hat die ESÜDRO nun mit der ­Marke
naturathek eine eigene Ladenkette auf den Markt gebracht. Im
Spätherbst sind in Berlin (2), Worms, Mainz und Sindelfingen
die ersten Filialen an den Start gegangen.Weitere Eröffnungen
sollen folgen, angestrebt wird ein Netz von 200 bis 250 Shops.
naturathek-Geschäftsführer Matthias Diehl sieht seinen
Geschäftstyp zwischen Drogeriemärkten und Apotheken positioniert, auch was das Preisniveau betrifft. Angesprochen fühlen sollten sich vor allem Damen ab 20 bis zum Typus „ohne
Alter“. Das Sortiment umfasst etwa 450 Artikel in 8 Segmenten,
davon rd. 60 % im Bereich Gesundheit (in erster Linie Nahrungsergänzungsmittel), 40 % im Bereich Kosmetik. Die Wertschöpfung liegt weitgehend, und darauf ist man besonders
stolz, im eigenen Haus. Abhängig vom Flächenzuschnitt liegen
die Ladengrößen bei 90 bis 120 m². Angestrebt werden TopLagen in Einkaufszentren und Fußgängerzonen, wobei jedoch
passendes Umfeld Priorität vor Frequenz hat. Ein absoluter
USP bei der naturathek ist das fachkundige Personal. Vorgesehen sind 4 bis 5 MitarbeiterInnen pro 100 m² Verkaufsfläche, damit wird der Beratungsanspruch für die Kunden auf den
ersten Blick offenkundig.

zept entwickelt. Dabei ist schon mit dem Markennamen, aber
auch mit der Subline „schön gesund bleiben“ durchaus ein
großer Wurf gelungen. Gekonnt gespielt wird mit dem Prinzip von Hülle und Kern: Die Rinde eines Baumes (die „Hülle“)
schützt den Stamm (den „Kern“) vor Witterungseinflüssen und
Beschädigungen. Der Stamm wiederum versorgt die Rinde mit
Nährstoffen, damit sie ihre Funktion erfüllen kann. Weder Rinde noch Stamm können ohne ihr Gegenstück existieren. Dieses
Prinzip ist auf den Menschen übertragbar – in diesem Sinn hat
die naturathek in Zusammenarbeit mit Gesundheitsexperten
Produkte für die Haut (die „Hülle“) und für den Körper (den
„Kern“) entwickelt.
Konsequent hat das Team von Umdasch Shop-Concept (Steffen
Tobschall, DI [FH] Gudrun Vierling-Reinmuth, DI Hilke Ludwigs)
das Prinzip von Hülle und Kern für die Visualisierung übernommen. Das betrifft sowohl die Auswahl von Farben, Formen und
Materialien für die Möblierung, als auch die Übertragung des
Konzepts auf den Raum. Ausgangspunkt für die Möblierung ist
ein in die Fläche eingebettetes Bodenraster. Markante Gestaltungselemente sind Spante (vom Regal in die Decke hineinreichend), Regal-Korpusse in dunklem Eiche-Holz, Glasfächer,

The structural changes which have affected the retail trade have also left their mark on the health and
beauty branch. The purchasing cooperatives are not the only group which could tell us a thing or two about
the problems. New ideas are essential in order to maintain one’s position in a difficult market environment.
The naturathek chain of stores, devised by ESÜDRO AG, is one such innovation – and at the same time an
excellent example of store branding in the classical sense.
With headquarters in Hockenheim, ESÜDRO AG is one of Germany’s leading purchasing companies in the field of health
and beauty articles. It currently operates on behalf of some
1,800 retailers. ESÜDRO has recently launched its own chain
of shops with the brand name naturathek to serve the rapidly
growing OTC (over the counter drugs) and cosmetics market.
In late autumn the first branches opened in Berlin (2), Worms,
Mainz and Sindelfingen. Further openings will follow, with the
company aiming at a network of 200 to 250 shops.

stores and chemist’s shops – also as regards prices. They are
designed to appeal first and foremost to women aged 20 and
above, including the “ageless” type. The range of goods for
sale covers some 450 articles in eight segments, of which some
60 percent lie in the health branch (primarily dietary supplements), and 40 percent in the field of cosmetics. The company
is particularly proud of the fact that most of the added ­value
lies within the company itself. Depending on the floor area, the
shops vary in size between 90 and 120 m². They aim at top
locations in shopping centres and pedestrian areas, whereby a
suitable setting is considered more important than the number
of passers-by. An absolute USP at naturathek is the knowledgeSHOP aktuell 103

Umdasch Shop-Concept war bei der naturathek in Worms nicht nur für

100 m² sales area, which means that customers can see immediately that advice is available if required.
Keeping beautifully fit
The naturathek is a good example of a consistent branding and
store-branding process. In line with an idea of Hans Wolbert,
the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, and on the basis of
intensive market research, the underlying concept has been
developed by Lencos in Bühl and the marketing agency Service­
plan from Munich. Not only the brand name, but also the subline “schön gesund bleiben” (keeping beautifully fit) represents
an initial major success. Sophisticated use is made of the principle of exterior and interior: the bark of a tree (the “exterior”)
protects the trunk (the “interior”) against weathering and damage. The trunk, by contrast, provides the bark with nutrients
so that it can fulfil its function. Neither bark nor trunk can exist
without the other. This basic idea can also be applied to people: together with health experts naturathek has developed
products for the skin (the “exterior”) and the body (the “interior”) with this principle in mind.
The Umdasch Shop-Concept team (Steffen Tobschall, DI [FH]
Gudrun Vierling-Reinmuth, DI Hilke Ludwigs) made full use of

this principle of exterior and interior in their design presentation. It applies not only to the choice of colours, shapes and
materials for the furnishings, but also to the adaptation of the
basic concept to the space available. The starting point for the
furnishings is the grid pattern embedded into the surface of the
floor. The eye-catching design elements include ribs extending
from the shelf units to the ceiling and dark oak frames on the
shelf units. There are also glass shelves and cubes which are
employed in a variety of ways, as well as tables and transparent dividing units. The natural setting, predominantly in shades
of green, is presented in the most advantageous light by the
use of lighting accents.
Umdasch Shop-Concept Neidenstein was responsible for
the store branding for the naturathek, developing both shop
design and store planning. The company was also in charge of
the realization. Umdasch’s areas of responsibility included the
complete project management as well as the production and
acquisition of furnishings and fittings.

Neue Umdasch ­
Shop-Systeme
Mit einer umfangreichen Produktoffensive macht Umdasch Shop-Concept von sich
Reden. Gleich fünf neue Systeme wurden entwickelt. Nicht zuletzt bei der EuroShop
beweist Umdasch damit die führende Rolle als Anbieter von Shop-Systemen.
Die neuen Shop-Systeme bieten weitreichende Möglichkeiten
der Individualisierung. Shop-Designer und Ladenplaner benötigen heute Systeme, die unterschiedlich bespielbar und an das
jeweilige Markendesign individuell anpassbar sind.
So bietet beispielsweise das Wandsystem Carré größte Flexibilität bei der Rückwand-Gestaltung. Die Wandmodule können
mit einem Handgriff ausgehängt und gewechselt werden. Der
Warenhintergrund kann so jederzeit verändert und an unterschiedliche Marken oder Sortimente angepasst ­werden.

New Umdasch
shopfitting systems
Umdasch Shop-Concept has been attracting attention with its wide-ranging product
campaign. No fewer than five new systems have been developed. The EuroShop is just one
opportunity for Umdasch to demonstrate its leading role as a supplier of shopfitting systems.
The new shopfitting systems provide extensive opportunities for
customization. Today, shop designers and store planners need
systems which can be used in different ways and which can be
individually adapted to suit the brand design in question.
The wall system Carré, for example, provides a great deal of
flexibility in the design of the rear wall. The unit backs can easily be removed and exchanged. The background for the goods
presentation can thus be changed at any time and adapted to
suit different brands or ranges.

Uniplug is a new free-standing system for the centre of the
store. Here the question of customization was solved in a highly innovative manner. Free-standing systems are usually tubular structures with limited use when it comes to brand presentation. Uniplug combines tubular structures with panel elements which can be individually styled. By varying the form,
material and colour scheme the panel elements can be ideally
adapted to suit the brand design. Brand names and logos can
also be applied.

Independent Profile können direkt auf bestehende Wände und Säulen montiert werden.
Auch die Montage auf Holz-, Stein- und Glasplatten ist möglich. Independent uprights

Neue Prospekte informieren umfassend über die Umdasch ShopSysteme. Speziell Shopdesigner und Ladenplaner erhalten mit ihnen
eine wertvolle Hilfe für die Ladenplanung. Die E-Mailadressen, unter der
die Broschüren angefordert werden können, sind auf der Rückseite
dieser Ausgabe zu finden. New brochures provide detailed information
about the Umdasch shopfitting systems. Shop designers and store
planners in particular will find this useful for their store design. The email addresses for ordering the brochures will be found on the back of
the magazine.
In the new wall system Arena Alu the technology is virtually
invisible. Only a thin vanity line indicates that shelving elements
can be inserted into the unit backs. The main visual element
consists of the unit backs themselves, which can be styled
invididually by the designer to match the brand. The Arena Alu
shelves are a true market innovation. They are designed in aluminium. Accurately mitred joints, visible screws and high-quality Eloxal surfaces lend the design its unique appearance.

only surprise the visitor, but must also make him curious
and leave a lasting impression on his memory. During
