Process

The project began with on-site research, featuring interviews with stores and resellers globally. This research resulted in a comprehensive document outlining store perceptions of the Maurten brand, spatial constraints, limitations, opportunities, and reseller engagement. The main challenge was to create a solution that was easy for stores to set up while positioning Maurten as a high-value brand.

The boxes are shipped to stores in a flat-packed form. They are sturdy, lightweight, and designed for repeated use. Made from recycled materials, they allow Maurten to provide resellers with in-store solutions that minimize environmental impact, perfectly aligning with Maurten's sustainability protocols.
