TINCAN, A MONO-PRODUCT RESTAURANT
Finally you can sit down in a
restaurant and just order tinned
fish. Tincan is a pop up restaurant opened in London (Upper
Street, Soho) that bases its
menu on tins of fish alone. Tuna fish, sardines and other 23
specialities coming from all over
the world make a good show of
themselves on the restaurant’s
menu card as well as on the
walls. These premises were in
fact created with totally black
walls where the metallic labels
of fish products strikingly stand
out. The creator of this restaurant was AL_A studio, a well
known name at the London Design Festival for its creations. The price range
starts from seven pounds for the basic product (a small tin of sardines) to 22
pounds for the rarest one. The restaurant will remain open for six months.

Porsche talks about itself
through a musical pop up store
Text by Anna Bertolini - Backed by “The Sound of Porsche: Stories of the Brand”, Porsche has set up a Pop Up
Store intended as an innovative, interactive musical experience brand. Launched on 15 September in New York, the
space will be open to the public for three weeks and will be
a means of telling and experiencing the story of the brand.
The store is divided up into three areas comprising a Sound
Lab, Media Stations and a Design Corner. The first area, the
Sound Lab, is focused on the Porsche 911: here visitors will
be able to try themselves out in a virtual test drive accompanied by acoustic experiences reminiscent of sounds in a
big city or a journey through the mountains. In the second
area, the one with Media Stations, visitors can listen to 16
stories invented to talk about the brand. The experience
ends with the Design Corner, somewhere for participants
to draw what the sound of Porsche means to them. The
designs can be uploaded to the social network through
the #soundofporsche hashtag with a trip to Stuttgart as
the prize for the winner of the best drawing. Porsche set
up the store working together with Bose for the Sound Lab
and with Walt Knoll who curated the furnishing. London
and Shanghai are the next stops on schedule for the Pop
Up Store.

Text by Chiara Scalco
A
rchitect Carlo Piglione, together with
colleague Thomas Bartoli,
curated the project of the
new Eataly Smeraldo in Milano, an imposing building
distributed over four floors
covering an area of 5,000
sq m, where theme catering
areas and sale of products
of excellence continually
intertwine. Close attention
paid to the consumer, selection of materials and
product-related communi-
cation are just a few of the
features marking his work
that seeks to lend a one
of a kind, special aspect to
each Eataly project, created in Italy and throughout
the world.
What is your architectural approach towards
the retail world?
It is hard for me to answer
this question. I am a ‘field
promoted’ architect: my
approach towards design-
ing stores was born and
developed with the creation of the Unieuro/Trony
stores, owned by Mr. Farinetti, from 1998 to 2005 to
then begin the Eataly adventure with the first shop
in Torino in 2007 and all
the others to follow in Italy
and abroad. I never looked
around, but went along with
Farinetti’s ideas on the
Eataly project, developing
them with simplicity and
interpreting the “Eatitalian”
concept to the best.
Each Eataly is unique of
its kind.
What are Eataly Smeraldo’s special features
and which are instead
the points in common
with the other stores
built?
Exactly, each Eataly is
unique. Unique because
not being a chain we never
thought that the size and
features of the building we

had at hand should comply
with a common standard.
Not only: if you look at the
Eataly stores in Italy you
will see they are for the
most part located in buildings of architectural interest abandoned for some
time and put to major environmental requalification
works by us. This forced
me to conceive a different layout for each one of
them. The biggest ones
are the ex Carpano factory
in Torino, Porto Antico in
Genova, the Air Terminal
at Ostiense station in Roma, the monumental wing
of Fiera del Levante exhibition buildings in Bari and
the historic old building in
Via Martelli in Firenze. Eataly Smeraldo was a theatre
and so the first special feature we wanted to impress
on the building was the
style, which took on the
characteristics of a theatre
during reconstruction and
so we have a combination
of food and performances
for the first time in an Eataly. The communication aspect of the Milano project
is undoubtedly in common
with all the other Eataly, without forgetting the
sales, production of homemade food and possibility
to enjoy products in small
monothematic restaurants.
How does the building
merge in with the Milanese urban pattern?
Together with architect
Bartoli, we decided to completely alter the facade of
the historic Smeraldo Theatre by inserting a glass
parallelepiped resting on
Piazza XXV Aprile square
in front of it, lending more
light and visibility to the
store inside and merging
with the new Milano skyline
made up of the Unicredit
bank skyscrapers and the
new Porta Nuova district.
How important is the
store’s aesthetic factor
and how does it combine with the functional
aspect?
During the process of designing the Eataly stores, I
never thought that the aesthetic aspect as an end unto itself could be a decisive
factor for the business. Instead I endeavoured to lend
importance to the product,
its visibility, luminosity, the
possibility for customers to
always have an overall view
of how the shop is laid out.
All this was naturally kept
in mind without forgetting
the selection of furnishing materials, lighting and
characterization of the various areas. My goal, in my
projects, is to make sure
people receive a pleasant
sensation when they enter,
feel at ease and can fully
enjoy the “Eataly” experience.
What are the current
trends in the retail
world and, based on
your experience, how
will it develop?
To my mind I find far more
attention is being paid to
internal communication
with the consumer, through
images and detailed descriptions. The creation,
also in the large scale retailers sector, of areas exclusively devoted to quality
artisan products, not just
price aimed, echoes a desire to place the consumer
at the centre of everything,
seeking to give them what
they would always have expected to know and find.

Pescheria dei pescatori
and Anema e Cozze
in the same premises
Text by Marina Bassi
N
ew formats in a mixture of retail and catering: in the Campania
shopping centre at Marcianise (Caserta) there is
a new space combining
fish with pizza with the intent of spreading Neapoli-
tan gastronomy throughout
the world through authentic
products and always fresh
fish. A true and proper fishmonger becomes all in one
with a pizzeria: this project
visualizes La Pescheria dei
Pescatori fishmongers, with
fish guaranteed by Federpesca (national fishermen’s
federation) and Anema e
Cozze restaurant (Sebeto
Group, also owners of the
Rossopomodoro restaurant
chain) together on the same
premises. This results in enhancing the offer of the two
brands to increase the number of customers, exploiting
a short production chain
which, apart from personal
contacts with those who
actually catch the fish, also
assures a fairer remuneration.
As to the layout the designers began with the idea of
immediately highlighting the
fishmongers that occupies
an area of 20 sq m, using

Intersybarite uses wood alone,

O
ne element alone,
wood, used with modularity. This was the idea of
Intersybarite, the gourmet
store opened in Mexico
City, where you can buy and
taste gastronomic products
and wines, in just 35 sq m,
in an attractive atmosphere
echoing the artisanal nature of the goods on sale.
The entire point of sale was
made out of wood, conjuring up the natural, genuine qualities of this type of
material. But if on the one
side Intersybarite focuses
on a natural component,
on the other it rejects the
idea of immobility. And so
the winery-wall is modular,
that is fitted with strips of
wood that can be moved
around according to need,
creating differing effects
and orientations. In this
way the space at disposal
can in fact be used to the
best, massing the product
into one or else highlighting
a few products only. But in
the first case some attention is required: it is hard to
read the labels in the way
Intersybarite chose to display the bottles. Packing

any space to bring respite

of the project (designed
by Arquitectura Sistémica)
where products, equipment
and materials become an
all-in-one able to interact
with visitors and amongst
others without using a mix
of technologies (aside
from a monitor which plays
a minor role). Experience
is the master of this store,
suggested by the location,
its atmosphere, which only the warmth of wood is
able to exhale. In addition
to the fact that wood is a
green material and, in this
case, comes from recycled
pallets reducing environmental impact and, not to
be underrated, contributing towards cutting down
on costs to build the store.
The point of sale experience is also interpreted by
tasting: the imposing rec-
tangular-shaped counter at
the centre acts as a magnet (with the winery-wall)
and somewhere for people
to gather around and enjoy the products sold in the
store similarly to a bar. A repeatable format that would
also go down well in shopping centres.

The meat department at the Conad hypermarket in Corciano (Perugia) focuses on simplicity and transparency to enhance local productions of excellence.
Simplicity and aesthetic care
at the butchers department
Text by Barbara Trigari
T
he world of butchers
has witnessed great
transformations over the
last few years, on the one
side due to the tendency
to consume less meat and
on the other the search for
characterization and significantly original proposals to
stand out from the obscurity
of massification.
The Pac2000A case
Pac 2000A Conad was
one to succeed in devising
a project targeted for the
meat department, opening
a hypermarket at Corcia-
no (Perugia) in September,
particularly focused on fresh
produce. Identity, characterization and qualification of
product and subsequently
department are the Corciano project guidelines (see
pages 10/11 in this issue
editor’s note) as the manager of the Pac 200A meat
department, Paolo Lucheroni, explained. They started from data taken from
sectorial studies, reporting
a drop in sales of beef, tender red meat and veal and
an increase in commodity
categories such as indu-
strially processed poultry
products; diversified trends
were also found amongst
the segments in the red or
white meat categories. On
the one side, sales of sliced
meat, steaks, stew meat, rolled roasts are on the
downward turn; on the other
there is a substantial increase in minced meats and
roast beef cuts. In general,
it was found that consumers are more careful about
spending, subsequently affecting the meat sales. For
this reason Pac 2000A had
the idea to also work on
grams for fixed weight products: it reduced family and
great saving packs to the
advantage of medium to low
grams of around about 200
g, with a final price of roughly 3.50 Euro, accounting
for a drop in the average
number of members of a
family, falling from 3.4 to
2.7. Fewer consumers, more
young people, increasingly
single, increased food consumption awareness have
all induced the creation of
a tailored layout to highlight
the segments most on demand.

The butchers shop at Carrefour Market Gourmet in Milano, created with Interstore, is enhanced by a concept for food lovers.
Distinctive layouts
The layout of the 70 linear
metres in the Corciano Conad department has been
organized into specific clearly stated areas, as Lucheroni explains: “Areas must
qualify the product on display: so here you have the
corner cold store unit where you can see meat being
dry-aged, already on sale
for some years now at Conad Adriatico; the counter
for Umbria products with a
photo of each farmer who
raised the cattle; special
in-house production, such
as our hamburgers offered
with recipes created ad hoc,
also based on Italian gastronomic excellences; sausages produced to regional
recipes and, finally, let’s not
forget the area for meat from
all over the world”. All displayed following the simplicity
criteria: “Having abilished
the wall concept we turned
towards the single shelved
cabinet, 80 cm in depth, a
single display shelf and very low counters – continues
Lucheroni -. All to the advantage of visibility, cleanliness
and luminosity, contributing
towards the attractive appearance of the department”.
Space for beef is reduced by
about 50% to 30%, whilst a
lot is left for in-house production (15%), so that saving and selection go side
by side. “Our ideal is to have a point of sale offering a
successful daily experience,
notwithstanding the size of
the hypermarket, also through creative display solutions
– explains Lucheroni -. And
so we thought of displaying
locally produced good quality poultry on a bed of ice,
just as they normally do with
fish, exploiting the chromatic effect of yellow meat on
a white background”. Made in Italy, green and locally
grown are, always in Lucheroni’s opinion, the factors
the consumer expects to
find at the point of sale
Professional skills
and ...
The consumer as related
by Riccardo Bertato, sales
manager at Epta Italia, has
an ever more limited time
for shopping and expects
an increasingly wide assortment, ranging from meat sold with classical cuts to
ready to cook or even ready
to serve products. The creative solutions change as a
consequence to offer the alternatives to the consumer
all at a time. “Large scale
retailers (Lsr) can rarely rely
on a professional butcher,
whilst there is a growing
tendency to demand professional skills and service
that will lead to an increasingly greater demand for
serviced counters. When
the Lsr assesses a butcher’s
professional qualifications,
they generally look with interest towards those who
are specialized”. The product above all. And so there
is a growing preference for
counters with straight rather
than curved glass and one
single extremely capacious
shelf to “cap” it all, enabling
the butcher to be nearer to
the customer and use the
top of the counter to display
all the high-profit accessory
products, such as sauces,
pâté and condiments. Green thinking and simplicity
become the principal assets
of a counter: “There is an increasing demand for easy to

clean counters and cabinets
to reduce the time needed
for these jobs, and which also consume less – explains
Bertato –. It follows that
Led lighting, having a cold
light that does not affect the
product, will be increasingly
used together with increasingly efficient refrigeration
systems”.
Territorial differences
The professional experience
gained in setting up points
of sale between north and
south Italy has led Luca
Masiero, sales manager
at Arneg Italia, to discover
a tendency defining two
approaches towards the
butchers department: “I
noticed a difference in meat
consumption bet we e n
northern Italy on the one
side and central and southern Italy on the other. Self
service is more popular in
the north, probably because
they eat less meat and also
because of the new diffused
health trends and less time
to go shopping; whilst in the
south the serviced counter
is on high demand, where
service guaranteed by a
professional butcher, working with local products is
highly appreciated”.
The growing trend towards offering samples to
taste in small retail butcher
shops and at some of the
big names, such as Eataly
or Eat’s, is in line with this
logic. “We are faced with
an increasingly demanding consumer – insists
Masiero – who wants to
see the butcher preparing
the meat, even the complicated recipes, who loves
locally produced meat and
traditional recipes”. Result
in the layouts? “We are
moving towards ventilated
rather than static counters
and cabinets, due to the
tendency to buy vacuum
packed meat requiring this
type of conservation, along
with counters and cabinets
where the product is shown
at its best, as in a jeweller’s
window”, concludes Masiero. Lastly, a growing number
of catering and tasting areas
are being created alongside
the sales, with display areas
where one can also eat or
drink the product.
02
Story telling
The president of the Costa Group, Franco Costa,
described the butchers’
world as a sector undergoing changes, seeking new
paths to tread and which
has understood that to
make the difference it must
focus on the product and on
a story to tell, differing for
each point of sale and embodying the heart and soul
of those who run it. “They
often ask us for highly exclusive layouts and expect
us to advise them on how
to create new selling approaches, such as introducing cooking, just to quote
one of the latest trends. If,
once upon a time, butchers
worked behind scenes in
their workshop, they have
now become the stars of
the shop, telling the story
of who created it and of the
product, in a process made
up of many steps which no
one would have thought of
telling before”. Meat has
therefore become a product
of excellence in many cases, as Costa states: “There
is a product that must be
interpreted based on the
personality and attention of
the customer”.
03
01_ Epta_Solesino
The Epta Eurocryor Dynamic System solution retains humidity at
degrees nearing the 90% mark, without using humidifiers, with
remarkable results: goods can be kept in counters and cabinets for
several days, without putting them back into the cold store for the
night, retaining their organoleptic characteristics and appearance
unaltered. Loss of weight is drastically reduced, from the 3-3.5% of
standard counters and cabinets to the 0.12-0.13% with the Dynamic
System.
02_ Arneg_butchers
The Baden refrigerated cabinet by Arneg features squared lines and
flat surfaces, guaranteeing the goods with maximum visibility. It

the finishing details, and aesthetic care in displaying the meat, as in

Always more eco-friendly minded
at the Walmart points of sale
Text by Enrico Sacchi
T
he sustainability objectives imposed by
Walmart for years on all its
suppliers and partners is
best shown by the commitment of this big chain
store at its points of sale.
Whether they are newly opened or have been
refurbished, the Walmart
stores are absolutely in line
with the eco-friendly concept, enabling it to reap
substantial benefits not
only from an environmental impact point of view but
also in saving on costs.
“Savings” transferred by
Walmart to its customers.
Here are some examples.

70% less energy as compared to neon lighting and
generate far less heat; associated with less maintenance.
Membrane roofs
H i g h l y r e f l e c ti ve w h i te
membranes are used on
the roofs of new points of
sale, contributing towards
reducing the energy consumed by the building.
The white colour helps
to reflect solar heat and
reduces heat inside the
building.
Natural light
Walmart replaces artificial
lighting with natural lighting in its biggest stores
during the day time: an
energy-saving solution that
also contributes – according to specific studies –
towards a better shopping
experience.
Heat recovery
Walmart uses systems to
transfer waste heat coming from the refrigerated
systems for heating up
water used in the toilets
and areas where food is
prepared. In some of the
stores this heat is returned
to the building in the wintertime to heat up the interior.
Flooring
By using bare concrete
floors in many of its newly
built stores, Walmart succeeds in substantially reducing areas treated with
agents. Meaning that the
need for chemical detergents, wa xes and paint
strippers can be considerably reduced, even
eliminated altogether, with

Water efficiency
At points of sale located
in areas where local communities have to struggle
against water shor tage
– such as in Santa Fe –
Walmart collects rainwater
in underground tanks and
uses it to irrigate the areas
outside the store. Toilets in
the new stores also save
on water, being fitted with

extremely customizable, modular, reusable and
environment-friendly (recyclable materials are
used). Bottle rack, bookshelf, base modules
can be combined together either vertically or
horizontally, changing around the furnishing
according to the tastes and needs at that
particular moment without any waste: the

side: the load capacities are in fact exactly the same as standard sheet
metal shelves.
