Chris Lefteri talks about the effect materials that are used for shop design can have: What do materials look like, how do they feel or how do they influence the acoustics in a room. Those are complex questions that need to be considered when redesigning a store. At EuroShop in the Shop Fitting and Store Design dimension, interested visitors will find exhibits and know-how on the subject of materials and surfaces.
