The result is an object that is simultaneously playful and precisely engineered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Supernatural collection applies this principle to five classic horror characters.

As a gift it speaks equally to parents, design enthusiasts and horror fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eHow well known is Areaware with retail customers?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eAreaware is well established in design-conscious circles – the Cubebot® in particular through its presence in museum shop ranges (including MoMA) and international design media. The product explains itself through its form and doesn't need strong brand recognition for the initial impulse. The mechanism takes care of the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eHow should the Cubebot® Supernatural be displayed in a retail environment?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eOpen and touchable – that is the essential principle. The elastic cord mechanism and the quality of the beech wood only reveal themselves through handling. An open table display or a shelf at arm's reach performs significantly better than a glass cabinet. Multiple figures side by side invite comparison and collecting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eHow is the Cubebot® Supernatural packaged – and is the packaging suitable for retail?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eThe Cubebot® Supernatural comes in character-specific individual packaging that clearly shows the figure. The packaging is retail-ready – it requires no additional outer packaging and works both on an open shelf and for displaying the figure outside the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eIs it worth stocking all five variants?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eYes – the five figures have distinct visual personalities and appeal to slightly different tastes. Stocking all five benefits from the collectible effect: customers who buy one frequently return for a second or third. The complete set of all five also makes a strong gift item with clear added value.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eWhich seasonal occasions does the Supernatural edition suit best in retail?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eHalloween is the strongest seasonal occasion – the Cubebot® Supernatural is one of the few premium design items that works in this space without a kitsch factor. Christmas is the second major peak, especially as a gift for both children and adults. Birthdays are relevant year-round.
