What enables us to experience

life is that we can breathe. It
awakens us into the the present
moment and we feel alive. The
identity looks like it is carved out
of wood: almost like you left your
mark on a tree. It is presented
in a circle to represent the cycle
of life. The circle is a universal
symbol that represents totality,
wholeness, the self, the infinite,
eternity and timelessness.

INSIGHTS
Consumers today are ever evolving. They
are exposed to many cultures and have
started experimenting in the kitchen. While
they love to cook, what they dont enjoy is
the negative labour involved in it. They are
also always on the look-out for new tastes,
new cuisines and new ingredients.
retail design I foodhall I ideas

IDEAS
The over-arching idea is the concept
of Seva, the Indian quotient behind a truly
international store. Seva aims to make the
customers journey in the kitchen enjoyable
and easy by doing away with labour
intensive tasks like chopping vegetables
and cleaning meat.

A large part of Foodhall allows consumers

to sample foods, and evaluate their buying
decisions. To this end, a number of tasting
points were introduced throughout the store
that encourage consumers to sample,
try and then buy.
retail design I foodhall I ideas

IDEAS
Also as a greater number of consumers are
experimenting with food, it was absolutely
necessary to help them expand their
knowledge on a variety of ingredients and
foods. Towards this,
the communication in the store runs deep
a set of helpful guides and tips that simplify
the gourmet experience
