Sony Ericsson Aino campaign props

Sony Ericsson launched the ‘Aino’ mobile phone last year, a high-end slider handset sporting a 3-inch touch screen and an impressive array of multimedia features. Designed for those who want entertainment on the go, made possible by the phones unique ability to control and access content such as music, photos and movies wirelessly from a Playstation 3 console.

This remote play function is perhaps the unit’s main selling point, and as such was the topic of the promotional material produced for its release. Bringing your entertainment to you rather than waiting to get home.

Iris London’s visual marketing concept was derived from the phones menu icons, brought to life by Berry Place by the way of large coloured acrylic shapes illuminated from within to create a glowing effect.

Nike Court Force retail displays

Berry Place recently completed a short production run of 95 spherical plinths and 134 shelving units for Harriman Steel.

These point of sale displays, distributed to ‘Office’ retail outlets nationwide, were created for in-store promotion of the new Nike woman’s ‘Court Force’ sports-shoe, a refreshed re-issue of an original 1987 basketball classic.

The basketball style plinths featured de-bossed patterned details, which directly reference those on the footwear, and were then either vacuum metallised or sprayed with a bright pink finish.

The shelf units were produced from folded acrylic sheet with a black velour covering and screen-printed Nike Sportswear logo.
