Design thinking for retail

Three Dogs / Retail Design is specialized in the design of branded retail environments and visual merchandising concepts. Through years of experience in the Asia-Pacific region and China in particular, we have gained valuable insights on what engages shoppers and how to apply this knowledge to build distinctive retail brands and drive sales. We leverage this understanding of retail operations and design management to minimise cost and maximise the effectiveness and quality of brand rollouts.

  • “Three Dogs’ retail design insights of the China market from a consumer as well as an operations point of view gave us a head start launching VANS in Asia. They suggested sensible design improvements to adapt our US retail design to the local situation. Three Dogs’ planning of our first dozen or so stores, retail guidelines and staff training put our fast expansion on the rails.”

    - Mitchell Whitaker of VP/GM of Vans North America

  • “Thanks to Three Dogs’ innovative and creative design, Crocs successfully launched in 2007 its first global mono-brand store in Hong Kong followed by Asia and Europe. Three Dogs was able to overcome Crocs’ display challenges as Crocs’ original clogs are chunky. They created a “display room” concept which encouraged a “touch and feels then try” for consumers to adopt the brand and also saved Crocs a lot of storage space. At the peak of Crocs mono-brand stores in Asia, more than 1000 stores were using Three Dogs’ concept. Three Dogs was able to improve and upgrade the design to keep up with new product introduction by Crocs.”

    - Margaret Ma, Vice President Marketing Asia Pacific of Crocs

  • “Three Dogs did a superb job at not only concept and design, but most impressively with daily detail follow-up and on-site presence. Our brief was huge, with nothing less than a total redesign of the HMV brand image, top to bottom. The store opened well ahead of any expectations and the A-list crowd of 1700+ on the opening night were astonished and delighted with every detail of the result.”

    - Robert Esser, CEO of HMV Hong Kong

  • “We love working with Three Dogs, they think outside the box. Their design for CARFT exceeded our expectations and can really work for us as a platform to grow our brand in the future.”

    - Paul Hsi, Founder of CARFT

  • “We really benefitted from Three Dogs’ understanding of the requirements of international sports brands and the intricacies of the Asia/Pacific retail reality. They delivered high-quality implementations of our retail concept and made valuable contributions to the development of our retail design standards and guidelines.”

    - Bob Neville, Global Retail Creative Director & Head of Retail of New Balance
