introduction The SIA seasonal VM guide is a reference document to refer to: reading it, knowing it and using it will help your everyday work in your point of sale. It is the essential tool that enables the following of the themes calendar as well as the setting up of your products and flower markets. The aim is to optimize sales, therefore increase your turnover while promoting a strong brand image with high impact. For each theme, you will have a summary (style, atmosphere, color, material) for the setup of shop windows, lifestyles, displays, shelves and flower market that must be strictly followed. The setup was done following the generals rules explicated in the corporate visual guide.
OUR GOAL: to help you to set up the SIA collections in the most optimal and efficient way, while always considering the unique SIA image across the whole distribution network.
Attention This guide is prepared in our SIA school, where we only have samples (and generally only one product of each!). Therefore the atmospheres and shelves give a more empty feeling than in reality.

This first collection sways between Dandyism and Romanticism. It could be a country home in Italy or Normandy, late summer or early fall. A long, rustic table illuminated by chandeliers designed by Signe Becker, a console table with beautiful objects in glass and pottery, a display cabinet containing refined dishes. The colors are antiqued; their patinas hold the traces of time. Sea greens, verdigris, natural beiges, crackled ceramics, white porcelain and transparent, hand-blown vases all converse in subtle harmony. As for the flowers: hydrangeas, an abundance of white orchids, wild grasses: there is femininity, delicacy. In short, the discreet charm of refinement. The Jacky Chandelier is the emblematic item of the Préciosité collection. It is signed by Signe Becker, a Swedish designer who fell enough in love with Paris to move there, and with a Parisian to marry him. She was already in love with the great names of the Art Déco movement, with its precursor Joseph Hoffmann and its masters Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann or Paul Poiret. The challenge of this chandelier is to capture the spirit of the 1930s in an object that is resolutely contemporary, yet fabricated according to the state of the art: hand cut by glass craftsmen, the Jacky Chandelier is a collector’s piece.

The linear is used to display and stock themed products. A theme is composed by several universes (vases, ethnic decorations, traditional or chic). Each universe must be grouped on a linear by material and style for better visibility of the offered product. Group the same product family on a shelf presenting them from biggest to smallest and from right to left.

DESIGN VOLUPTÉ
35
Glamor and fashion, a theme that beckons pleasure and joie de vivre. Let’s imagine a very feminine, very contemporary apartment in a city like Paris, London, Milan or Stockholm: the apartment of an active and sophisticated woman. Glass and chromium furniture, washed canvas seats, a beautiful club armchair in gray leather and faux fur throw covers set the scene which is punctuated by designer lamps and lanterns. A pattern inspired by the 1950s is modernized by a silver motif in the dishes designed by Lotta Hallin. The glasses are signed by Marie Garnier. A collection of lenticular mirrored objects explodes with brilliance, in contrast to the softer tones of antique pink, pale pink, beige and warm grays. The flower arrangements are a symphony of roses – languorous, wilted, opalescent – and magnificent exotic Lady’s Slipper orchids which enhance the beauty of the glass vases designed by Signe Becker. The Rock ‘n Roll Vase embodies the spirit of the Design Volupté collection. It was created by the designer Pierre Gonalons, a Camondo graduate, elected Best Breakthrough Designer by the Wallpaper Design Awards and AD Magazine award winner for his scenography at Designer’s Day. Handcrafted in hammered aluminum then nickel plated, the Rock ‘n Roll Vase seems to dance on the ephemeral like a Hollywood star. Alone on stage, it is a sculpture. In a duet with a flower arrangement, it gives an inimitable, sensual twist.

windows Windows are communication tools that promote the brand's image. Create a universe that corresponds with the theme. The window tells only one story. Showcase the flagship products. Choose the necessary support (table concept or furniture for sale). Use various heights for different groups (rhythm). Distribute material and colours on both sides of the window in a checkerboard fashion (balance). Accessorise the chairs with cushions. Place the price cubes. Renew your windows regularly (every 10 days minimum).

Unlike a table display, the staging of a theatrically set table should be just like "at home". Careful, furniture for sale (tables, consoles, etc) should not be used under any circumstance for storing. It is important not to divert products away from their intended functions, to encourage sales.

URBAN NATURE
65
The successful marriage between nature and urbanity, wood and metal, a palette of warm and sumptuous colors for a gentle change of season. Winter has come, Chesterfield sofas set the tone for a masculine ambiance, softened by graciously patterned throw covers. The pure lines of massive dark oak furniture underline the volumes of the room. Dishes with a contemporary rendering of folkloric motifs, leather cushions and a collection of finely finished objects in wood and metal by Pierre Gonalons set the scene for a warm and authentic winter season. Plants give the indispensable rhythm to the dĂŠcor via a collection of bonsai trees and succulents in pots designed by Signe Becker. Lavish bouquets of exotic orchids in dark violet tones and autumn grasses complete the ambiance with ocherous and burnt earth hues. The Woody Vase summarizes in itself the spirit of the Urban Nature collection. Created by Signe Becker, the Swedish designer mentioned earlier, this vase represents the marriage between nature and technology, roots and sophistication, rough and smooth. The base of each vase is sculpted by hand in solid paulownia wood. The body of the vase is made of black high-gloss lacquered resin in order to form a contrast to the light color and irregular shape of the wooden base.

Why not go a little overboard for the holidays? This is more of a nightlife ambiance, between rock and disco - deep colors, Bordeaux maroons, passionate reds and shades of violet for the Christmas decorations. But also vases, candleholders, and very Haute Couture flowers for Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
