IBM at NRF: Retail’s Big Show 2014

Booth design and renders by Lauren Farrow

Javits Center, New York City. Client: IBM. A 70' x 50' booth at the entrance of the Expo.

The booth is meant to feel like a high-end department store such as Barneys, so that IBM can demonstrate its Merchant and Customer retail technologies. IBM’s Merchant demos are in the center of the booth, in a space designed like a fashion designer’s studio. The Customer technologies are on the sides, in three areas: Café, Housewares and Women’s Fashion. The booth is mirrored on both sides so that IBM can give two tours at once.

IBM’s reaction: “Amazing… not just a booth, but an experience.”
