The name of the store is the combination of two French words.
“Infini” means infinite and “mer” means sea, so that the name
signifies “infinite sea”.

which are swimwear, beachwear and beach accessories.

geometric store aesthetic, giving also a sophisticated and
advanced feeling.

service to clients.

40. 2. Fixtures, placement & traffic flow
2.2.Placement & Traffic flow
The main reason why the fixtures were chosen was due to its
functionality, since some accessories need special fixtures in order to
be displayed.
All of them have a chrome finish since it goes with the luxurious and
sophisticated meaning of the silver colour. Also this finish is durable,
doesn't’t scratch easily, and have a moderate cost.
There are only a few fixtures since all the swimwear will be hanged
on the walls by a wall mount. The only apparel displayed on fixtures
will be the 3 different cover-up categories (long, short and sarongs).
The 6-way fixture was chosen since there are 6 different pieces per
categories in the cover ups, and each one of them will be shown
individually.
41. 2.2.Placement & Traffic flow
Another reason for the few fixtures, is because most of the apparel
will be kept on the storage, and only one size per model will be
displayed. This is with the finality to create a minimalistic and
balanced atmosphere, in which shoppers can appreciate better the
uncluttered merchandise.
The beach accessories such as hats, sandals, and handbags will be
displayed on three different glass towers in the middle of the store,
being able to separate them by categories.
The cash wrap will be located at the back, in the middle of the store, it
was chosen on metallics and blue since it perfectly complements the
sophisticated-marine theme of the brand. Also its semicircular shape
gives the geometric look needed.
On the cash wrap, two counter top showcases will be used to display
jewellery, and attract the customers to make one last purchase. They
will be locked since the jewellery its expensive.
42. 2.2.Placement & Traffic flow
All the furniture chosen has a minimalistic look, most of it
shows white colours, glass and silver. Even the office furniture
which is not visible to the public has this characteristics in order
to involve employees with the same aesthetics.
The fitting room chairs and the bathroom sink were chosen due
to their aesthetics. They have a very notable marine theme, the
first one shows and anchor and the second one is a fish tank.
The fish SPA stations were chosen in white and blue since this
are the main theme colours, they all show a very geometric
squared shape, and they are very useful since the tank can be
taken in and out, giving more space when there are no clients
using it.
43. 2.2.Placement & Traffic flow
The mannequins were picked due to their aesthetics and durability,
they have a chrome finish, making them look sophisticated and
making them more durable and moderately expensive.
They are abstract mannequins since this represents the minimalistic
concept.
Mirrors will be all in silver and glass to combine with the fixtures and
hangers. The ones located in fitting rooms are floor mirrors and are
only made of glass giving a sophisticated look, they also have a
rectangular shape to represent the geometric feeling.
The bathroom mirror is circular in order to represent the geometrics,
and it has a very sophisticated and luxurious design.
44. 2.2.Placement & Traffic flow
The first thing customers will see it’s a pair of mannequins, one will be
dressed with a one piece and the other one with a two piece. Both will show
the latest designs and matching cover-ups with accessories.
All merchandise will be found in the front and middle part of the store. The
swimwear will be hanged on the walls, and the beachwear will be located on
the 6 way fixtures on the right part next to the merchandise.
On the left part, the three glass towers of accessories will be located, each
one containing handbags, sandals and hats.
The two fitting rooms will be located on the back part in the left, in order to
give customers more privacy, and with the finality that they go through all
the store first.
The cash wrap will be located almost in the back and in the middle, being
visible from the entrance since its really visually appealing and goes with the
brand image.
45. 2.2.Placement & Traffic flow
The storage and the office will be located in the back par of the
store, having access only for employees.
The bathroom will be located on the right corner of the store in
the back, next to the fish spa stations in case the customer wants
to freshen up after their foot treatment, or if they want to use the
bathroom before it.
The Spa stations will be located in the right part on the back,
making it more private for customers that want to take a
treatment and not mixing it with the merchandise section.
The waiting are will be located in front of the Spa stations in
case there are customers waiting to have a treatment, or that
current customers on treatments have companions.

49. 4. conclusion
Infinimer is a brand that offers swimwear, beachwear and accessories in a
unique way. The colorful, spontaneous, and sophisticated designs are
made by the personal store designer, making them exclusive only to
clients. A geometric, minimalistic, luxurious environment complements
the marine atmosphere of the store created by the wall fish tank.
This ambiance is made by the use of white, blue, and silver colors, chrome
fixtures and mannequins, and the uncluttered merchandise distribution,
giving the clients the harmony needed and the opportunity to fully
appreciate each article offered.
Infinimer is not only a brand that sells products, but wants to make the
shopping experience of the customers unique and unforgettable. A Fish
SPA service is offered to clients in order to complement their purchase,
offering them not to only show an amazing piece of swimwear but also
beautiful feet. Complimentary champagne is given during the service.
50. Infinimer will make an impact on Bal-Harbour since it
perfectly fits the market found in this location, which are
customers with an upper middle and above income who like
to buy exclusive and sophisticated merchandise and have a
unique shopping experience in a luxurious environment.
On the other hand, there is no bikini boutiques located outside
the “Bal Harbour Shops” complex, and this type of
merchandise is really popular in Miami since it's a beach
destination, being able to attract customers from all over the
city, and tourists.
It will be the first fashion retailer to show the marine concept
with a fish tank wall inside the store, and to offer fish SPA
services to their clients, giving the store the competitive
advantage to differentiate among the competitive retail
environment lived nowadays, and a very hard one to imitate.
