1. Flagship Store Interior
Because the mobile phone market is becoming increasingly more saturated, Orange has been searching for new ways to sell their products. Besides a wide and diverse range of products and services, the 1300 sq.m. store boosts a cafe, a restaurant, a sound studio used by MTV for live broadcasts, meeting and lounging areas, and a spot to showcase the newest products to be released by partner brands.

3. Online Store Multimedia The Orange online store needed to reflect the strong Orange brand, and trigger the visitors. The website offers a whole range of features, in a visually simple, strong and functional environment. It provides the possibility to buy Orange products and services in a very personal setting. This feeling was created by adding a ‘Behind the scenes’ section, a photo gallery and a series of games in which the visitor gets to know more about Orange and its products. Within two months of launch the webshop was generating the same turnover as the 50 stores.
