Travel retail design: duty free, airports and stations

Travel retail puts premium brands in front of millions of travellers, in the duty free shops of airports, stations and ports. Launch pop-up, seasonal activation, gondola, counter or shop-in-shop: we design and build the furniture and brand spaces in our own workshop near Paris, then install them overnight, in line with the operator’s and the airport’s rules.

Our commitments

What makes the difference.

01

Designed for the flow

A traveller spends a few seconds in front of your brand: visible from a distance, read at a glance, a simple path to purchase.

02

Compliant from day one

Fire-rated materials, the operator’s guidelines, the airport’s approval: we build the rules in before we draw.

03

Installed overnight, no closure

Elements pre-assembled in our workshop, short installation slots, airside access prepared in advance: the shop stays open.

04

Reusable from one rotation to the next

Modular furniture that reconfigures from one activation to the next, and from one airport to another.

FAQ

Your questions, answered.

What is travel retail?

Retail aimed at travellers: shops in airports, stations, ports, on ferries and cruise ships. It includes duty free, sold tax free to travellers leaving the European Union, and duty paid, taxes included. Fragrances, cosmetics, wines and spirits, confectionery and fashion are the main categories.

Can you install a pop-up in a duty free shop?

Yes: we design pop-ups and brand activations for the promotional spaces of duty free shops, approved by the operator and the airport, built in our workshop and installed overnight.

Do you make luxury retail fixtures?

Yes: displays, showcases, podiums, testers, gondolas and counters with integrated lighting, built in our workshop in wood, metal, glass or acrylic to match your brand.

How long does an airport activation take?

Usually 8 to 12 weeks from brief to installation: design, approval by the operator and the airport, fabrication and airside access for the installation team. An existing modular concept can go faster.

Which airports do you work in?

Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Orly, major railway stations, and across France and Europe, with the same preparation of access, materials and schedules.

A trade show, a launch, an event in France?

Your next trade show deserves a standing ovation.
