Johnnie Walker, Edinburgh
Design: Dalziel & Pow, London Photography: Andy Tye, French+Tye | Architectural + Interior Photographers, London
For its second Johnnie Walker shop, the Scotch brand turned to Dalziel & Pow to create a 3500 sq.-ft emporium in the heart of Edinburgh. Located in a former department store, the team designed an experience to encourage visitors to explore the brand, its products, and stories.
A showcase wall features the range of Johnnie Walker Labels -- and as visitors approach, motion sensors trigger the audio content describing the flavors that make each blend unique. Through visual theater, storytelling, and experiential moments, The Johnnie Walker Retail Experience invites visitors to discover, the single malts of Scotland in the Whiskey Explorer Library. A changing collection of local and exclusive home accessories, and bar tools are part of the lifestyle boutique.
Judges were impressed by the clean and easy to navigate space with its great balance of merchandise displays and interactive elements.
