Design for Disassembly

JOY of PUMA: Revolutionizing the Factory Outlet Ontario Mills, Ontario, Calif.

A fixturization kit of interchangeable stock parts enables this entire environment to be reconfigured without use of material handling equipment. While providing extreme flexibility for seasonal and inventory needs, this also enables the entire store to be packed up quickly and relocated to another site with little deconstruction and waste. With joinery comprising screws sans glue, fixtures can be taken apart without destroying the components. Combined with the use of 100 percent recyclable materials, this engineering strategy enables the store elements to be reused and/or recycled, revolutionizing not only Puma‘s factory, but the very concept of retail design.
