It’s not really about rattan

Industrial design students created fresh takes on rattan furniture that you can actually purchase from a furniture retailer yourself.

There is a shift happening in retail to move the focus from transactions to experiences and engagement. As the retail experience shifts, so will the designers who shape them. Dr. Jen Schlueter, Dean of Graduate Studies at Columbus College of Art & Design, explores how the industry is rethinking retail along with Rachel Friedman and Faith Huddleston from Tenfold, a design firm that just launched an experimental retail space called Tenspace, and Ed Hofmann, chair of the Master of Professional Studies in Retail Design [https://www.ccad.edu/academics/master-professional-studies] advisory board at CCAD.
