JAVELIN WINDOWS | BURY ST EDMUNDS
CHRISTMAS
Javelin Christmas windows have become renowned for their stunning beauty and creativity in Bury St Edmunds. Some even claim they are some of the best in the entire region, or perhaps even the whole of the UK! Year after year, these windows often win the prestigious top prize for the best Christmas displays. In fact, they have earned the affectionate nickname of "The little Harrods of Bury St Edmunds".
Each window display is meticulously crafted to capture the essence of Christmas and tell a story that resonates with customers, transporting them to a world of wonder. We strive to create a completely unique and innovative design every year, ensuring that no two schemes are alike. The key ingredients for these displays are always magic and fun, as imagination knows no bounds! Amidst the festive backdrops, our products always take center stage as the true heroes.
As a destination store, we make it a point to showcase all our product categories in these displays, creating a sense of abundance that appeals to a wide range of customers. These Christmas windows are our gift to both Javelin customers and the visitors of our town. We hope they bring joy and delight to all who lay their eyes upon them.
SPRING
As Spring approaches, it is essential to have a noticeable 'visual' change, often achieved through vibrant and bold displays. Spring symbolizes rejuvenation, making it the perfect time to design window displays that will captivate customers and entice them to explore the latest products for their home and wardrobe.
Embracing the essence of the new season, the window schemes and product styling exude freshness and optimism. For this particular display, we opted for a dopamine-inducing color - yellow! By saturating all surfaces with this color, we aimed for a high visual impact.
The use of oversized pleated shapes added an 'organic' touch to the overall look and feel. Despite being relatively low-cost, this window scheme proved to be visually striking.
SUMMER
Summer is the season of fun, fun, fun! It's the time when we let our creativity run wild and design window displays that capture the essence of sunshine, travel, and joy. People are more laid back, dreaming about their upcoming holidays and planning their outfits for garden parties.
Our inspiration comes from all corners of the globe. For example, one window display was inspired by a visit to Rodeo Drive in Beverley Hills. We saw a shop painted in bright yellow with a yellow Rolls Royce parked out front - a striking image we knew had to be incorporated into a Javelin window display.
We took it a step further by revamping the store's facade, creating an immersive experience right from the entrance. Last year, we even turned the main windows into a 'nearly' full-size swimming pool complete with handrails, tiles, and all the works. They doubted us, but we pulled it off!
AUTUMN
Autumn arrives ahead of schedule in the retail world, typically making its debut in late Summer!
With the arrival of the Autumn collection in stores, the goal is to ensure that the outfits are versatile enough for the changing weather, while also creating a window display that captures the essence of the season.
Drawing inspiration from the vibrant hues of Autumn leaves and the concept of 'wind', the design features angular shapes that seem to 'wrap around' the mannequins and displays, creating a sense of movement reminiscent of the Autumn breeze. The end result is a visually captivating display that beautifully highlights the new Autumn collection.
WINTER
During the Winter season, we love to experiment with mood, color, and lighting to bring our displays to life as the daylight fades away.
For this specific design, we decided to embrace a playful approach by recreating an enchanting underwater scene. Imagine stumbling upon lost treasures, embarking on a thrilling diving expedition, and encountering fantastical sea creatures.
To add an extra touch of whimsy, we thought it would be delightful for the mannequins to sport goggles, allowing them to seamlessly blend into the aquatic scenery. Every prop was meticulously adorned with faux leather strips, creating a sumptuous finish reminiscent of luxury luggage brands. And to complete the picture, we incorporated chunky chains and oversized hooks... setting the stage for an unforgettable experience!
