Laboratory abstract

The typology, layout and organization of the SUPERMARKET present an extraordinary uniformity to the eyes of common people. A closer look reveals that there is, on the contrary, a variety of formats with substantial differences, especially in terms of strategy and service. Today, even the most traditional formats are opening up to signiLcant changes that affect the entire retail sector and urge new studies of the effects they had and that they are having on the evolution of this type of stores. The course proposes a "design oriented" reading of these trends in relation to a highly competitive sector that is facing the pressure of new shopping options and greater sensitivity for the environment and health (to name a few: reduction of plastics in the packaging, transparency and traceability of food production, rising of bio and eco-sustainability products).

The project consists in an interior restyling of the supermarket designed to convey Esselunga’s values through spatial and technological innovations. The project is based on three pillar concepts: • Grocerant, a hybrid between restaurant and grocery store; • Information, declined through interactive touch screens that provide products’ data to customers; • Smart shop, thanks to an effective wayfinding and a quick path emphasized by the illumination system. Moreover, three additional services were added: a takaway area independent from the main store, a Temporary Shop with rotating brands every two months and Lockers, moved on the outside to become a microarchitecture and to solve the external visibility problem.
