Crusoe’s unique store design showcases fixtures, furniture, ceiling, lighting, shelving and window display – all derived from elements of adventure sports. For example, skateboards form shelves for merchandise and kayaks form lighting in ceiling. The store concept derives its form from the “wave” and façade being the first start point of the store, the customer interface was given the form of a “surf wave”. All graphics and imagery project the brand attitude of being adventurous and reinforce the brand promise and communication.
