Following our visit to EuroShop 2026, the world’s largest retail exhibition, we have distilled the retail design trends that matter most for independent retail groups in Ireland.
In the vibrant world of hospitality design, the significance of effective communication, clear brand tone of voice, and community integration cannot be overstated. Just as important as the overall look and feel were considered during the design process, a carefully curated brand tone of voice was integral to shaping The Gem Treatery’s unique identity.
As spring begins, so does the opportunity for retailers to breathe new life into their spaces. At Rigney Forge, we understand the power of a well-executed store design in shaping the
customer experience. In this post, we delve into the concept of a “Spring Refresh” and how stripping back space, specifically a supermarket design, to create clear destinations within
the store can significantly impact both the design aesthetics and customer experience.
Hello! I’m Peter, the founder of Rigney Forge; with the new year in full swing, I wanted to take the opportunity to give you a glimpse into who we are and what makes Rigney Forge tick!
London is at the forefront of retail design, with the avant-garde brands and concepts mixed with the historic charm of the city, the blend of tradition and innovation is inspiring. Recently, we took the opportunity to explore a few of the city’s stores and examine some of the latest design trends for 2024.
Here are our insights and reflections from our experience at London Design Fair 2023, where sustainability and storytelling intertwine to shape the future of design. London Design Fair is not just for visual design inspiration but also gave us valuable insight into the keys to longevity and connection in contemporary design.
We are delighted to share some exciting news that has filled us with immense pride and gratitude. As a young retail design agency, our team of retail design specialists at Rigney Forge have achieved an incredible milestone by winning the prestigious Gold Award for “Store Design of the Year” at the Popai Awards 2023 in London!
In a time where consumers are becoming more aware of sustainability and seeking out environmentally responsible choices, it’s an opportunity for retailers to lead the way towards a greener future for all.
From recognition to headlines: our design agency’s double award nomination and media spotlight.
Sustainability is becoming a key focus for retail businesses worldwide as they plan for the future.
A mission statement. Even if it’s not spoken about, every company has one, sometimes it just takes the right questions to find it.
Since starting up Rigney Forge, a question I’ve been asked a lot is “where did the name come from”?
