Xtra Furniture

Brief Explanation: Xtras regular customers are people who not only have high disposable incomes; they are also in-tune with design aesthetics. So, how do you please someone who already has much of what premium designer furniture can offer? Describe the brief from the client: Lighting and furniture retailer, Xtra, wanted a special way to thank their regular customers, and to remind them what made them so loyal in the first place. Description of how you arrived at the final design: We sent them a special edition lighting piece, with a letter of appreciation and assembly instructions. Inspired by minimalism and architecture, the design showcases light at its most beautiful. But more importantly, it engaged customers in a unique way, by allowing them to assemble and form their own designer item. Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market: The gift helped sustain Xtras brand image, keeping them profitable despite 2008s uncertain economic times. As a result, they opened a larger, more lavish showroom in January.
