Vital Baby
Inspiring design where the products do the talking
UK-based baby accessories brand Vital Baby was looking for a completely new concept for their stand at Kind und Jugend, Europe’s leading show for the infant and child retail market. We created a strategic and visually-dynamic 66 sqm stand aimed at attracting new international distributors and retailers for its extensive product range.

We created a distinct stand architecture whilst also future-proofing the concept. Phoenix Wharf designed not only the stand but all graphic elements. Advising on a simplified approach, product category breakdowns and single examples of display items were created within a well-segmented stand that offered a clear journey and variety of presentation / merchandising methods.
Stand-out features included a ‘new innovations hub’, with a playful curved archway entrance and an eye-catching Perspex ceiling section with inset products on strings. A welcome area featured a cut-out section in the shape of a cloud (a brand motif), whilst the orange of the brand identity was used for dotted lines, directing visitors across the grey vinyl flooring.

The finished article communicated a major step forward for the brand via a clear narrative structure, focus product areas and impactful communications aimed at parents rather than children.
We’ll let the Vital Baby team have the final word:
“When we looked into new ways to present Vital Baby at Kind und Jugend, we sent our briefs to a few different design and exhibition services companies, as we were unsure what we wanted. We knew we had to build our presence and grow our recognition with some very key retailers and distributors, we just didn’t know how.
Ignition was the only company that was able to understand our (very vague) brief and deliver a design concept that was beyond our expectations. In a very short time, they were able to understand our brand, values, products and what we wanted to achieve with our exhibition. The quality of the design is fantastic. Working with Ignition was so seamless we were 100% confident that the end result would be amazing. It was. We had a great response from our existing customers, and gave us a great platform to introduce Vital Baby to the world stage which is exactly what we wanted to achieve.”
Kind und Jugend, 2019
Vital Baby wanted to introduce their new branding that launched earlier in the year. The new branding allowed us to create more a sophisticated look and feel to the booth, whilst still retaining some of the more playful elements that we implemented at the Kind und Jugend 2018 show.
One of the key differences that the client was keen to see, was an increase in the height and overall impact of the booth, which is was definitely achieved in 2019.
