Quagga Design Limited

Thank you, @PhilDay and @Friedemannschaber, for inviting us to the POPAI Student Design Award 2024 mentoring kick-off session at the University of Northampton! It was fantastic to connect with the product design students, share insights, and support the faculty. Our ongoing partnership with the university has been a valuable asset to both our recruitment and business development strategies: it allows us to connect with the next generation of design talent while providing students with first-hand industry insights through mentoring sessions. Excitingly, this year’s award is embedded into the curriculum, giving every student the chance to enter and bring their ideas to life. Looking forward to seeing how their concepts evolve.  #mentorship #designthinking #productdesign #POPAIAwards #nextgencreators #UON

During a recent visit to Marks and Spencer, we spotted one of our Full-Service Units (FSUs) featuring the beloved Percy Pig, all decked out for Halloween and proudly showcasing themed merchandise. It was great to see our creation in action. The playful design, combined with Percy Pig’s charm, really catches your attention. The highlight, of course, was discovering the range of "oinks" there are – who knew there were so many? This project was not only fun to develop but truly engaging for shoppers of all ages. #percypig #design #retaildesign #fsu #experentialshopping

Brands and lifestyles seamlessly intertwine, fostering community by blending bricks-and-mortar stores with e-commerce, offering immersive, holistic experiences that resonate both online and in-person. A great example of this is Marks and Spencer’s Parenthood Club; it provides a holistic support system for parents. Beyond the discounts, it offers personalised advice, expert parenting content, and milestone-based resources for every stage, from pregnancy to early childhood. The club fosters community through social media interaction and in-store events, helping parents connect and share experiences. With a focus, on convenience, sustainability, and long-term family needs, the Parenthood Club aligns M&S with the everyday challenges and joys of parenthood, positioning the brand as a trusted partner in the family journey, not just a shopping destination. #parenthood #community #experientialretail #retail

We are incredibly proud to sponsor our very own rugby royalty, Matt Watts, who plays for Wellingborough RFC. Not only does he lead with determination and passion as the captain on the rugby pitch, but he also brings the same level of commitment and leadership to his role as a Design Manager off the field. Matt is the epitome of a complete team player, consistently driving his team forward with his strategic mindset, whether he's orchestrating plays during a match or managing design projects with precision and creativity. His dedication, versatility, and team spirit are truly inspiring, and we are honoured to support him both in his athletic and professional endeavours. #wellingboroughrfc #team #rugby #design

The concept design journey begins with a comprehensive site survey, which allows us to gain a clear understanding of the existing space, its unique features, and any potential challenges. This provides our team with the foundational insights needed to create a design that not only aligns with the structural and aesthetic aspects of the location but also enhances its functionality, ambiance, and overall customer experience. Our team of in-house designers then plot out the desired customer journey ensuring all touch points are defined whilst seamlessly integrating innovative design elements to elevate the hospitality experience. This includes considering factors such as lighting, layout, furniture, materials, and the overall atmosphere to ensure that every aspect of the space contributes to a cohesive and memorable guest experience.  By prioritising both form and function, our approach ensures that the new design not only meets aesthetic goals but also enhances operational efficiency and guest satisfaction, ultimately creating an environment that feels welcoming, inspiring, and perfectly suited to the needs of both the client and their customers. Watch this space !! #spaceplanning #hospitalitydesign #newproject

We love supporting the M&S design team with manufacturing and installing key category hero bays within the food hall, to enhance the customer experience. Influencing the customer journey with pops of colour and clear destination areas, like shop-within-shop concepts, enhances the consumer experience by improving navigation, engagement, and overall satisfaction. Strategic use of colours draws attention to specific products or sections, guiding customers smoothly through the store. Colours can evoke emotions—calming greens for a relaxed atmosphere or energetic pinks —making the environment more engaging, along with an Oink or two from Percy the pig, a Moo from the happy cow or a Cluck from the happy chicken! Clear destination areas provide, clear segmentation of brands or categories, reducing the overwhelm of large spaces and simplifying decision-making. These dedicated areas create a logical flow, allowing customers to find related items easily, improving efficiency and satisfaction. #design #retaildesign #foodhall #percypig #plantkitchen #organics #happycow #happychicken #food

Bricks-and-mortar retail goes beyond the products; it’s about creating memorable experiences, fostering a sense of community, and delivering authenticity that online shopping can't replicate. In physical stores, customers can interact with products, engage with knowledgeable staff, and immerse themselves in a curated environment that reflects the brand’s values. This tactile and sensory experience builds emotional connections and trust. Moreover, these spaces often serve as community hubs, where people gather, share experiences, and feel part of something larger. Brand authenticity is key with in-person interactions, unique store designs, and local touches, making each visit a distinctive and meaningful encounter. Gym Shark exemplifies the essence of experiential retail with The Sweat Room, a dynamic space that goes far beyond just showcasing products. Offering a variety of fitness classes, it’s a place where customers can actively engage in the brand’s core mission of fitness and well-being. The community London-run club further strengthens ties among fitness enthusiasts, creating a sense of belonging and shared purpose. The space also serves as a versatile event venue, hosting workshops, challenges, and social gatherings, while a refreshment bar offers a place to relax and recharge. Additionally, Gym Shark provides the unique opportunity for 1-2-1 training with Pro Bench, where customers can receive personalised guidance from fitness experts. Mannequin poses within the space creatively demonstrate the functional end-use of Gym Shark’s products, allowing customers to visualise themselves in action, fully integrated into the active lifestyle the brand promotes. Nike Town remains a flagship destination for sports enthusiasts and fashion-forward shoppers alike, offering more than just a retail experience—it’s an immersive journey into the world of Nike. The store features informative displays that educate visitors about the latest technologies, innovations, and the stories behind iconic Nike products. These displays not only inform but also inspire, connecting customers with the brand's rich heritage and commitment to athletic excellence. The centre piece of the store is the creative "Nike By You" studio, where personalisation takes centre stage. Here, customers have the unique opportunity to customise and personalise their favourite Nike styles, from sneakers to apparel. This interactive experience allows individuals to express their personal style, choosing from a wide range of colours, materials, and design elements to create one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect their individuality. Whether it’s adding a name, a special date, or a bold colour combination, "Nike By You" empowers customers to stand out from the crowd and make their mark. This blend of cutting-edge innovation and personal expression ensures that Nike Town continues to be a must-visit destination for those looking to engage deeply with the brand.
