C-star：Mr. Chen Wei, as an international custom fixture manufacturer you serve top branded retailers and chain stores for their fixture needs. From your perspective what are the most important trends in shop fitting globally?
 

Mr. Chen: All our cooperation customers are global middle and high-end chain brands, and according to our 24 years cooperation experience, we have noticed that the trend of the shop fixture is constantly changing as follows:

1. The customer interaction is matter: the display fixtures in the large stores provide more pleasure for customer during shopping，so it is very important for the customer to interact directly with the products. The height, size, opening, structure and multimedia presentations of the shop fixtures can help customers experience products.

2. Diversified materials use, environmental protection materials, modular combination: the materials is not limited to metal, wood, acrylic, more like cement, ceramics, paper and other materials. For a long time, Yongcheng actively uses environmental protection and degradable materials throughout the whole process of design, manufacture, sales and disposal, and strives to produce environmentally friendly or less harmful products, and meets specific environmental protection requirements of renewable resources. Coordinating with customers to develop modular shop fixtures, meet the needs of repeatable, composable and reducing the front-end production cost, quickly replace.

3.The design of shop fitting tends to be young, colorful, and diversified. Young fashion brands have increased, or the brand has started targeting young customers, so that shop fixture design style is young and fashionable. The tone, language and shape of the shop fixtures help building the customer's impression of the brand.

C-star：What materials are the most requested in store design and are there differences between the countries?
 

Mr. Chen: Now, the main materials used in the production of the shop fixtures are metal, wood and acrylic .in fact, the materials used are mainly determined according to brand positioning，design requirements, products design, customer level and product price. The materials used in chain stores are no great differences among countries, but in some countries, there must be corresponding material certification

C-star：Because of the enormously growing e-commerce retailers use more and more technology-based solutions in brick-and-mortar-stores, i.e. interactive fitting rooms, web bars and so on. How does that influence the store design?

Mr. Chen:  The influence can be divided into the following points: 1. The compatibility of store fixtures, multimedia and technology, matching，security and rapid disassembly and combination of multiple functions. 2. The use of multimedia and technology has made the new retail, unmanned retail stores increasing,  which greatly changes the way of the original shop fixtures placement. The purpose is to determine how to display from the perspective of customers and the flow of people, so as to enhance the interaction and stimulate consumption.
