Concepts approved for new olive oil and balsamics store

With this new store under development for Fort Myers, we rethink the traditional notions of olive oil and balsamic vinegars stores.  This industry is all about the customer's first hand experience with the product, which we emphasize with tasting stations throughout the sales floor.  The display systems combine efficiency for the display of the various flavors of oils and vinegars, along with a boutique feel that lets the Owner highlight special items and integrate complimentary products throughout the store.

InStore names Diamond Vault a 2012 "Cool Store"

“That kind of rough, recycled or reused wood has a level of warmth not usually associated with jewelry design, says Balaity. “We were fortunate to have a client who understands the changing nature of the jewelry consumer base, and was willing to take risks with the design to redefine the typical notion of high-end retail for Sarasota.” 

It’s a balancing act: Slick, eye-catching materials such as glass walls, polished granite and mirrored tiles complement the glamour of the jewelry. Those elements are brought down to earth with warm colors, reclaimed cypress and stacked stone walls. “These materials — along with a range of ceiling heights, case types, and lighting effects — give customers a variety of experiences as they circulate the large retail floor area,” Balaity says.
