/01The Brief

Build the entire visual world. Ninety-six hours.

Banca de Fruta, the fruit stand, was the gifting suite concept for the season, landing at the Urban Outfitters flagship at Marble Arch.

Two globally recognised names, a flagship London location, and every surface of a physical activation to design from nothing. AndMelo was trusted with it on the strength of its retail experience and the quality bar it holds under pressure.

/02The Characters

Every surface starts from the same place: fruit with a face on it, drawn by hand. No stock, no filters, nothing generated: the whole world is one illustrator’s line, which is why it holds together across a sticker and a floor vinyl alike.

/03The Surfaces

An activation is not a poster. It’s every surface.

Entry signage, campaign lockups, six stickers, five vinyl formats (floor, window and mirror), four posters in branded and unbranded versions, an e-vite and the supporting collateral. Each one had to be print-ready inside the same four days.

We could not risk a freelancer on this one.

We were hosting a major partnership activation with Havaianas on one of the busiest shopping streets in the world, with a deadline that left no room to be wrong. AndMelo understood the brief immediately and carried it from concept to design to print: every asset custom, hand-drawn, genuinely creative, and ready to install.
