Kiosks and Carts

Faces cosmetics is a well-known Canadian-based international retailer with an established history of nearly 40 years and prominent presence in our Canadian malls. As Faces repositioned their brand to cater to a younger demographic, the overall appearance of their kiosks needed to be redesigned. Major malls were also adding pressure by complaining that the kiosk’s height was creating visual impediments to overall sightlines. The new modernized concept has been a huge success. It has not only helped Faces successfully fill the critical gap between mass-market makeup lines and expensive department store cosmetic brands, but the new trendy design is now appealing to the younger demographic and attracts an overall more fashion-forward clientele. The kiosk even complies with the strictest mall design criteria as it is reminiscent of a unit found in high fashion department stores.
