CONNECTING PEOPLE
Nokia Vodacom World
Nokia is one of the world's largest manufacturer of mobile devices. STUDIO SIXTEEN designed the original Nokia store in Vodacom World to establish Nokia as an individual brand identity in Africa. Once a new visual identity was established S16 was approached to re-launch the Nokia store. The role of the store is to act as brand statement and business builder.
The Brief
- Manage the project adhering strictly to the design guidelines, within a set time frame.
- Provide design input for implementing the international standards locally.
- Supervise and co-ordinate specialist audio and video installations.
Our Unique Design Solution
The store embodied Nokia's customer proposition of, "helping people feel close through human technology."
The Outcome
The S16 team proved that human skill trumps technology in the quest to deliver high quality finishes without missing a single deadline.
- All contractor appointments were made ahead of time and good communication was exercised throughout.
- A world class store was handed over to a delighted and highly impressed client.
- Close supervision and attention to detail ensured the store was built to the exact specifications of drawings drafted in the United Kingdom.
“S16 CAME WELL PREPARED AND WAS FAST IN SETTING UP VARIOUS CONTRACTORS TO CARRY OUT THE WORK. THEY WORKED WELL WITH THE LOCAL NOKIA AND GLOBAL TEAMS ON WHAT WAS A COMPLEX PROJECT. S16 PAID ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND ALL DEADLINES WERE MET. COMMUNICATION WAS ESSENTIAL GIVEN THE GLOBAL SPREAD OF THE NOKIA TEAM AND S16 MANAGED THIS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL.”
“THE IDEAS GENERATED FROM S16 WERE PRACTICAL AND AESTHETICALLY PLEASING. THE QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP AND ABILITY TO MEET THE NOKIA GLOBAL STANDARDS WERE HIGH PRIORITY FOR OUR BUSINESS, WHICH S16 MET COMFORTABLY. THIS PROJECT, WHICH WAS FULLY PROJECT MANAGED BY S16, WAS DELIVERED WITHIN TIME, AND DELIVERED WITHIN TIME AND BUDGET.””
