Back in the 90& #39;s-early 00& #39;s, each year the Retail Reporting Corporation would put out a & #39;Point of Purchase Design Annual& #39; book, collecting the best of those displays you& #39;d see in stores, restaurants, etc. A great reference for various trends and products from the era.
The DK (Dorling Kindersley) displays always bring back great memories, and are perfect examples of the & #39;Utopian Scholastic& #39; aesthetic popular at the time. I like how in some of them they translated the graphic design of the book into a physical form.
While it& #39;s not from the same series, & #39;Point of Purchase& #39; by Robert Konikow (1985), collects some interesting displays from that era; including & #39;fast food mansard& #39; Frito-Lay shelving, Atari demo kiosk, synthwave dog food, and a terrifying Hardee& #39;s & #39;Fun Machine& #39;.
