The Display:
Packaging on shipping containers that become display register the necessary information for consumers to be aware of the trends all over the world at any moment. Via creation of a system of flexible modules that are packaged, shipped and displayed, the Italian shoe display becomes a universal expression of Italian culture anywhere in the world. Shoe towers pop up in cities and in turn, each city is connected to the universal Italian Walk-in[g] Shop.

Daily, consumers are aware of what is being sold around the world, what is a favorite, and what is sold out with just a click of a button.

Packaging to Assembly:
The modular structure is comprised of a panel system born out of the euro pallet dimensions of 80x120 cm. The traditional storing mechanism of boxing is replaced with the panel system. From the production line, shoes are stored in the egg-crate cast panels, shipped to their destination and are immediately ready to be locked into place for display. The panels are assembled on site and become the display for the shoes. After usage, the panels are easily dissembled and put back on pallets to then be shipped to a new destination.
