Two Brands, Two Colours, One Stand

Schneider Schmidlin: ISH 2023

Two traditional Swiss companies used the ISH 2023 as a stage for a joint product presentation aimed at making their high-quality bathroom products better known in the European market. Schneider produces mirror cabinets and illuminated bathroom mirrors, while Schmidlin specialises in glazed titanium steel and bespoke products. Both companies address a target group with a high quality standard. The joint stand brought about both synergy effects and cost efficiency.

Cross-section through the product worlds

One third of the long rectangular stand area is reserved for the communal cafeteria. The remaining area is divided equally into six parallel aisles. Wall sections alternate with empty spaces to define the aisles. These are intersected by diagonal stretches of gauze, whose rounded arch shape creates arcades that are reminiscent of Roman baths and bathhouses. In this way, we create surprising layering effects and superimpositions over what is in essence a simple geometric grid.

Dual paths

The products of both manufacturers are presented against black (Schneider) or white (Schmidlin) covered walls. Depending on your viewing angle in and on the stand, individual or mixed product worlds are displayed, which remain precisely categorised at all times. The Mirror Room, in which Schneider presents its product novelty LUNE, proves an exception to this rule, interrupting the stringent concept and showing both manufacturers together in one area.

Using a simple geometric grid and a reduced colour scheme of black and white, we created a joint stand concept for two manufacturers that renders the two product worlds clearly distinguishable to visitors and yet surprises them with complex perspectives and overlays.
