During my junior year studio, I was tasked with re-designing a pop-up shop and displays for twelve student-designed products from the Environmental Product Design (EPOD) major. 4-person team project.
The EPOP Shop was redesigned to maximize the display space for twelve products within the 10’x10’ plot we were allotted at a holiday market in Boulder, Colorado.

Initial Sketch of Corner detail. This element would end up giving more equitable display space to corner displays, break up the angular square shape of the store, and help guide customer circulation in the corners.

Build Process
My build responsibilities entailed everything shown below, except for the displays and the carboard informational materials.
New wall section was built to add space for two more displays from the previous year.
All of the displays were designed to hang using French cleats. This was done using rails that lined the walls of the shop. This allowed for the displays to be easily mounted and adjusted without hardware.
Corner storage areas were created for the shop so that excess product could be stored out of view and easily accessed by students manning the shop. These were designed as simple countertops with curtains, which slotted into grooves cut into the wall sections, and were then secured with screws.
Early Display Model. The displays were designed around using pegs, which could be configured to either hold shelves, or be used as hooks depending on the product (see photo gallery below).
Final Display Backboard (3/4” Baltic)
Every display had an informational poster about the product and designers, a “materials library” which showed what upcycled materials were used in it’s making, and a process video displayed on a tablet, showing how the product was made.
