“…Due this narrow view on retail design as a part of interior design, the discipline is limited in its development towards a mature discipline in its own right. Indeed, we argue that retail design is becoming a more professional, distinct field, based on an interdisciplinary foundation and with an increasing need for specialized knowledge (Quartier et al, 2016). Cutting-edge retail design practice is leading the way in this respect.…”

t has been our hypothesis that designing for retail in the future would strongly benefit from more specialized education and training programs, truly integrating social sciences and design disciplines. To this end, we are currently aiming to launch a postgraduate certificate program on retail design. In preparing this program, we have critically reviewed the three different educational programs that we already organize on retail design. To have a first indication of the validity of this approach, we were able to use interviews with senior and junior designers of 10 retail design agencies. The results suggest that there seems to be both a demand and an opportunity for a retail design program for (young) professionals who will work together in group on a (preferably realistic) design assignment, which offers a sufficiently deep handling of issues, an integration of theory and practice via a workshop setup and should most likely be offered in English.

“…As table 1 demonstrates, the articles cover many lenses to investigate retail design through. The diversity of journals underlines the complexity of retail design, and the slender body of academic articles underlines its under researched state (Quartier et al, 2016). For the time being, retail designers strive to define their profession (Quartier, 2017), understand the boundaries of their discipline (Quartier et al, 2017) and how they can help retailers best, especially as a result of the digitalization of retail (Hagberg et al, 2016).…”

This research aims at demonstrating how retail designers through empathic interviewing and listening to the story that retailers tell about their retail concept, can program the retail design task, identify inconsistencies not thought of using the "retail design thematic map" developed and give better advice to retailers. Using independent retail as case the article sheds light on the empathic interview as method, strengthens retail design as a relevant discipline for retail strategy, and clarifies the role of emotion in the clientretailer relation regarding strategizing.
