2. We transform ideas into a technical reality, collaborating
with retailers and design agencies to create attractive,
engaging retail displays & environments that
sell products more effectively.

4. Custom shelving solution for Kurt Geiger’s concept stores

6. Up against a very tight deadline, and some
difficult technical challenges, we were sent
a brief, which incorporated rendered visuals
and a rough store layout.
Concept

7. We prototyped all of the various elements needed,
including custom extrusion manufacture, bending/rolling,
and LED illumination.
Prototype

8. With the shelving assembled in an entirely bespoke way,
we also worked closely with the shop fitting team to
confirm they had everything they needed to ensure an easy
installation.
The Unibox solution included: 3D CAD renderings,
prototyping, custom extrusion manufacture, LED
illumination and installation support.
Process

11. Self-Service Account Opening Kiosks for Barclays Branches nationwide

13. Retail design agency, Start Judge Gill, were tasked with developing
a new addition to the store, “Self Service Account Opening” areas.
After creating visual concepts, SJG turned to Unibox for assistance
in turning their concepts into a reality.
Because of our extensive experience in retail display, and in-house
capabilities, we were able to quickly produce a concept unit that
was installed into Barclays HQ, Canary Wharf.
Concept

14. The concept incorporated multiple bespoke
solutions, notably new product, “Kontour” - integrated
illuminated lettering, which was laser cut and
mounted through an Oak panel onto laser etched
light guide plates.
he unit also included a ‘Barclays blue’ pantone-
matched lighting halo, produced in conjunction with
Lumenal, our specialist LED lighting sister company.
Our slimmest lighting profile, MIRA, was customised
to include coloured gel, bonded to the reverse of a
light diffuser to create the blue halo effect.
Process

15. Passing through 3 iterations, gaining credit from Directors &
customers alike, the Self Service unit has been installed into 50
stores and counting, rolling out to the majority of branches in
2016.
Solution

17. Bespoke LED lighting centrepieces

19. Dalziel and Pow approached Unibox to bring their creative
concepts to life, because of our knowledge of integrating light into
aluminium profile structures, and our unique design expertise.
Working in collaboration with the Dalziel and Pow design team,
we met, and discussed what was needed to make their vision
technically possible. This included deploying our design team for
technical visualisation and prototyping, in addition developing the
necessary connections to assemble the structure on site.
Concept

20. Coming up with a number of solutions, these
technical plans and prototypes were then
presented to Dalziel and Pow and Primark, and
a preferred option was chosen.
Prototype

21. We sent a project manager and a five-strong team
to assemble the lights in a factory close to the
Primark Madrid store, demonstrating not only the
level of expertise needed to complete this job, but
also our commitment to our client, from brief to
completion.
Installation

24. Ceiling-hung signage, Illuminated Graphics and Neonist Displays

30. Multiyork contacted Unibox to develop a visual merchandising display system

31. These sketches were converted into technical
visualisations, ready for manufacture.
Concept

32. Multiyork’s visual merchandising team had seen
and loved the Unibox Sol modular display system,
which led to multiple sketches being created for
ares throughout new store layouts.
Sketches

33. These sketches were converted into technical
visualisations, ready for manufacture.
Concept

36. Unibox develop an innovative cable-free, moveable illuminated shelving system

38. River Island required a new shelving solution,
that allowed shop staff to refresh product
displays quickly and easily in line with changing
promotions and seasonality.
Using our in-house manufacturing capabilities, we
initially began developing concepts and assessing
their technical viability.
Concept

39. Running off a flexible track system, Kontakt
was developed to allow power to flow in
either direction across the LEDs. This meant
that shelves could be moved and products
merchandised in a far less regimented way than
ever before.
With powder coat based technology to give the
perfect level of insulation, the result was elegance
of design, without bulky plastic extrusions.
Using specialist alloy brackets to allow maximum
current into the electrical cables and luminaires,
as well as being superconductive, Kontakt was
also designed to support heavy products.
Process

42. Integrated LED Lightbox displays throughout River Island’s new format stores

44. Over the past 4 years, Unibox have partnered with
River Island to roll out LED Lightboxes across
their entire store estate.
Involved from the very start, contributing to
product design, development and prototyping,
our knowledge of integrating lighting into
aluminium profile structures, and our unique
design expertise, made Unibox the perfect fit for
this project.
Concept

45. The final solution included three-meter
high wall mounted lightboxes, and ceiling
mounted lightbox archways.
As part of this project, we developed
bespoke right angles, with the strength
to maintain perfect 90-degree angles
throughout the turn. In addition, due to the
large dimensions of the lightboxes, to create
the necessary archways we prototyped
suspension cables and illumination
techniques.
Manufacturing

48. LED neonist signage for Gail’s & Pinkmans Bakeries via
Holland Harvey Architects

50. Following Holland Harvey’s appointment by
Gail’s Bakeries, its designer got in touch with
Unibox to share a concept image of a neon
sign, made up of vivid white neon lettering in
a simple font.
Having previously seen Neonist in our studio,
Holland Harvey was keen to recreate this
design using our low voltage alternative.
Concept

51. Helping Holland Harvey bring its creative
concepts to life, we created technical
drawings, prototype designs, and custom
manufacturing techniques to create this
unique signage display.
Process

53. Design and manufacture of a bespoke display system to
house Tom's latest range of products events across the globe,
including Maison et Objet and Salone del mobile.

72. NEW Kinetik

73. Kinetik
Somewhere between a lightbox and a large-format video screen, Kinetik augments the
tension graphic system with RGB LEDs, allowing a high resolution printed graphic to
be combined with dynamic animation or variable colour backlighting.
Each LED represents a pixel, in the same way a TV screen is made up of pixels. These pixels are 10mm apart and
are designed to be used in large format. The LEDs, specific to Kinetik, are programmed to create a digital texture,
which can be used as a backdrop to an interior or promotional space.
Recognising that brands increasingly want to promote products in a less static way to attract consumer attention -
but often don’t have the budget to incorporate screens or LCD technology - Kinetik can be used both subtly and to
dramatic effect.
