How much ‘wow’ can fit into a few square metres? Or how many POS activations can be built in four weeks? 🧐

When Cartier becomes visible at KaDeWe, it’s not about space, but about impact. The request came on a Friday directly from Italy – with little lead time, but a clear goal: a POS presentation area that is staged in line with the brand, showcases materials of the highest quality and conveys the brand’s standards in every nuance. The setup was complete on Sunday evening, and sales started on Monday morning. No lengthy coordination, no safety net, just concentrated implementation in the shortest possible time.

Gold leaf, a three-dimensionally printed inlay with a pyramid structure, anodised metal, semi-circular Plexiglas with a special coating and a film technology that combines technical precision with visual clarity were used. The focus of the presentation is on Cartier’s eyewear collection; perfectly lit, with maximum detail and a presentation that does justice to the product quality. The space was complemented by a trained sales team that not only provided information but also brought the brand experience to life.

A two-week deployment was planned. However, the response was so convincing that the period was extended until the beginning of August. The presentation brings frequency, visibility and relevance to the space and shows what is possible when brand, space and implementation come together.

At the same time, we implemented ten further POS activations for a leading global tech company at Telekom. Although the projects are subject to confidentiality, the design and technical complexity speak for themselves.

But that’s not all: two further brand spaces for rocket.beauty with BORNTOSTANDOUT (BTSO) and Fugazzi have also been successfully completed. These projects showcase a unique aesthetic language. More on this in a separate article!

In total, within four weeks we realised thirteen temporary brand spaces for three clients. Different industries, different strategies, one common goal: maximum brand impact at the point of sale under high operational complexity. We can be proud of ourselves!

All hell has broken loose here – at the point of sale, that is.

Since summer 2024, we at BRAINARTIST have been shaking up the world of stores together with Teufel. Teufel is Europe’s largest direct mail order company for audio products and has been a fixture in Berlin since 1979. Anyone who has ever set foot in a Teufel store knows that it’s not just technology on display here, but also a real treat for the ears.

And now even more to feast your eyes on!

From the moment we first met Teufel, we knew it was a perfect match. 👌
Both sides are keen on new ideas, enjoy a good atmosphere and are ambitious to not just show customers products, but to bring them closer to the world of Teufel. Together, we have set ourselves the goal of making the stores even more visible, louder and more colourful, so that all the senses are truly addressed. 💥

Our first joint project is called ‘MYND’. There are no half measures here: modular elements, bold colours and a presentation that arouses curiosity. The grand launch took place in May 2025 in all Teufel stores, which were transformed into stages where Teufel products such as headphones, speakers and soundbars were not only displayed but could also be experienced first-hand.

In addition, we have selected four MediaMarkt locations as test stages for the ‘Sound Spaces’: Bonn, Nuremberg, Paderborn and Wuppertal. There, we are testing how advice, self-service and surprising store statements are received by customers. The design, development and implementation are all done by us, and we also take care of the setup with our own teams, because we prefer to get stuck in ourselves rather than watch others do the work.

Our favourite challenges at the POS:

  • Cables that disappear as if by magic.
  • Presentations that put speakers, headphones and soundbars in the spotlight.
  • Security tags that don’t disrupt anyone’s flow.
  • Digital price tags that lead directly to the next track.

This creates areas that are clearly structured, stylish and always ready on time.

For us, these test markets are not a flash in the pan, but the start of a long-term collaboration. We collect honest feedback so that everything runs smoothly during the big roll-out. The markets provide us with the best insights and show us what really appeals to visitors.

These stores are meeting places for music fans, technology enthusiasts and anyone who wants more than just off-the-shelf products. BRAINARTIST transforms these markets into places of experience where the Teufel brand comes to life – with promotions, events and creative POS campaigns that stick in the mind. This is what the future sounds like at the POS: fun, team spirit and the satisfied Teufel on your shoulder. 😈☺

Uh, Böhm of course, not Bähm! Feinkost Böhm in Stuttgart, Germany. There we were able to ring in the summer for Moët & Chandon – with a champaign that celebrates the French attitude to life, elegance and enjoyment. With the right setting, of course: a classy shop window and the design of one of the best-selling special areas in the middle of Stuttgart.

☀️ The shop window?
Brilliant white despite a matt finish, with integrated lighting and a highlight in the centre: 28 snow-white bottles of ICE IMPÉRIAL in a deep red frame, gold-plated mouldings, clear edges, luxurious details and rounded off with a fabric awning with an embroidered Moët & Chandon logo. Simple. Noble. Unmissable. The open window was once again completely remodelled and closed by us.

🍾 The indoor promotional area?
Matt red tones, a specially designed woven wood graphic and white frames, which perfectly bring the campaign guidelines for sales displays to the available space and invite people to take them home. Above this is a 2×2 metre ceiling graphic that draws the eye from all sides. Everything is visually finely coordinated – with a clear objective: maximum visibility, minimum distraction. Light. Luxurious. Stylish.

💬 And the feedback?
‘We are absolutely delighted with the Moët Ice shop window – beautiful!’ – Feinkost Böhm.
The promotion period was therefore promptly extended by 8 weeks and now ensures that summer in Stuttgart will definitely last until mid-September. That pleases Stuttgart, us and especially our customers.

When LVMH calls, we put our heart and soul into it.

This time it was about something very special: the Moët & Chandon x Pharrell Williams Limited Edition. A champagne collection that rethinks the birthday ritual. Not just to celebrate yourself, but as a joint party with the people you love and cherish. Personal, emotional, full of joy.

For Moët & Chandon, we were able to realise the exclusive retail and trade experience at the POS (off-trade) and present it live to an astonished audience from 3 March. Once again, it was a collaboration that we greatly appreciate. Friendly, demanding, focussed and always with the aim of delivering excellent results. Because: ‘Retail is Detail’!

Customised and iconic pop-ups were created at five selected locations in Zurich, Geneva, Stuttgart, Munich and Berlin. High-quality manufacturing, colour-coordinated with the edition in midnight blue, deep red and gold; precisely executed down to the last detail.

At some locations, the pop-up also served as a gift station. Customers can put together a gift for their loved ones or for themselves on site, wrap it and add a personal touch. Supported by trained staff, an experience was created that made the world of Moët & Chandon and Pharrell Williams tangible and combined individualisation with emotionality.

The bow is the central design element. It originates from the ‘Moët & Chandon’ history and has been reinterpreted in the special edition by Pharrell. We have continued it spatially, handcrafted it, varnished it several times and finished it with applied half pearls, handmade in a complex process. The designs were visually connected, technically secured and precisely coordinated in detail.

We also designed the shop windows in the top locations. Depending on the location, two variants were used: either full-coverage key visuals of the campaign or large-format, colourful bows, staged in an eye-catching way with a Magnum bottle in the centre. The PW monogram on the bows and the characteristic dot graphic were staged as sophisticated details and characterise the look of the campaign..

By the way: sustainability plays a central role in everything we do. All components have been designed in such a way that they can be returned to the cycle after use. They can be dismantled, separated and recycled. Wood, steel and aluminium are returned for further processing. Fabrics and foils are made from recycled material, some of which contains marine plastic. Anything that cannot be reused is disposed of separately and professionally.

Thanks to the LVMH team for their trust and appreciative cooperation. And a big thank you to the employees of Globus Zurich, Globus Geneva, Feinkost Böhm Stuttgart, Feinkost Käfer Munich and KaDeWe Berlin for their support in creating these masterpieces!

We score points with full service from the selection of a well suited location to a targeted DCLP campaign for the opening.

When we all work together to create something new and exciting, it often makes the world a better place. In our case, a place that gives people more freedom and self-determination in their later years. Special thanks to the people in charge at Malteser Hilfsdienst e. V. for their trust and the great and cooperative collaboration.

Malteser … because being close matters.

Malteser Hilfsdienst e. V. offers a wide range of assistance, whether in acute emergencies or in everyday situations. With the first Malteser Service Point in the centre of Wiesbaden, we have now been able to help the association move even a little closer to the community. The focus is back on personal interaction and assistance, beyond the Internet and telephone services.

From finding the right location, commissioning and supervising the renovation work, furnishing and equipping the service point, selecting and training the staff to the successful opening celebrations – we accompanied and designed every phase of this exciting pilot project.

And while we’re on the subject of designing. Of course, a suitable advertising campaign was a must. It had to be dynamic, fresh and bold and put the topic of the home emergency call service centre stage, without any negative connotations. After all, who likes to admit that its necessity goes hand in hand with increasing health risks? We wanted and were allowed to break new ground with our concept and show what it’s really all about: Freedom! Security! Independence! And about the feeling that ageing is not an obstacle, but can be a time full of new opportunities and adventures!

Our key visuals sparkle with joy and energy and show individualists who continue to live their lives with self-determination, unrestricted and happy – thanks to the service offered by Malteser Hilfsdienst. Just in time for the opening, they shone from digital city light posters and attracted curious onlookers throughout the city centre. Whether this was the reason why the opening celebration was so well frequented, the press release published in advance, the small but excellent event set-up or our promoters who, armed with roses and scratch cards, attracted curious people to the new service point in the immediate vicinity? Who knows? In any case, the interior, designed with great attention to detail, from the furniture to the piped graphics, light boxes and in-store TV with video animations created by us, made for a pleasant atmosphere in which all participants and visitors felt very welcome.

We are proud to be part of this project and look forward to continuing to make the Malteser Service Point in Wiesbaden an important point of contact for people of all ages. You are welcome to drop by and see the quality and dedication of Malteser for yourself.

An alluring back(drop) for Gucci.

And once again it’s ‘Curtain up for #GucciEyewear’. This time, however, our client did not take us to the Moulin Rouge, but to the equally prestigious KaDeWe (transl. Department Store of the West) in Berlin.

When we received the request from Kering Eyewear in Milan to take over production and installation of the Gucci Hollywood Forever campaign for one of Berlin’s most coveted advertising spaces, we were, as so often, right there with a ‘ya-ya’. Even though the timing was laced up rather tight with 5 weeks from the request.

Artful staging, sophisticated materials, tantalising shapes and tight timings are precisely the temptations we just can’t say no to. We were not allowed to use black satin sheets, but the metallic materials and lacquers we used were just as noble and shimmered seductively at the onlookers.

We gladly accepted the challenge of staging four rather small products on a stage of about 6 × 10 m and presented the ingenious sunglasses in an attention-grabbing special construction that attracted attention with silky shiny material, cleverly placed details and light accents.

The LED wall, almost adorable at just under 3.5 × 8 m, was partially covered with a custom-made piece in accordance with the design specifications of the campaign. Set in scene by a luminous contour, the cut-out nevertheless allowed intimate insights into the campaign motifs and videos, which were specially cut to fit this area. In order to cope with the inevitable rising heat and to prevent embarrassing deformations (for us), we relied on aluminium for the construction of the back wall, which, thanks to a special high-gloss coating, achieved the acrylic glass look originally desired.

In the end we can say: customer, client and also we are still completely fascinated by the visit to Berlin’s most renowned department store. Thank you KaDeWe, we will gladly come again!

We are already looking forward to the next time when we are allowed to raise the curtain again for Gucci, Chloé, Balenciaga, Cartier, Saint Laurent, Montblanc or other top brands from Kering Eyewear.

Every. has a pop-up store for two months in the Foodfactory in Berlin. They need an elegant solution for this, but one that is easy to remove or reuse.

We should pick out ideas on how to design the menu board on the wall and the three panels on the counter front. The menus on the board should be interchangeable. Timing of the concept including production and delivery was only two weeks. After several proposals, we decided on a printed Aludibond panel measuring 300 × 120 cm for the menu board. Each menu was printed on white Easy Dot foil, which is easy to apply and remove. Since the menu board could not be screwed to the wall, we had to find a solution for fastening it with hooks to the black metal bar.

The three motifs in front of the counter are also printed on Easy Dot foil and were stuck directly onto the black boards.

In addition to this work, a board for the opening ceremony and stickers also came from us; however, we did not take care of the roll-up to the left of the counter and the poster on the wall.

The client was satisfied: ‘Everything arrived perfectly, we set the menu board correctly and this is the amazing result!!’

BRAINARTIST, Berlin and the Galeries Lafayette.

Looking at the shop windows of the Berlin branch of the most famous French high-end shopping temple has always been a bit like a … ‘gallery visit’. But we didn’t come to look but to beautify. After all, we owed it to our client Chloé to stage the spring/summer 2021 eyewear collection on the surface and on the façade.

Real Chloé girls fall for the AIDA principle — Attention, Interest, Desire and Action — a little faster and can — in real life — finally enjoy what we have all missed for so long: the art of shopping
