Project Description
HIPPO MOTOR GROUP CASE STUDY
We were recently approached by Hippo Motor Group, a UK-based independent used car dealer, to design and supply the furniture at their new Peterborough site. The key requirement of this project was a quick turnaround time, which we were more than happy to facilitate. From first contact to installation, the duration of the project was 4 weeks, with the design generated within one week.
Interact provided a fully bespoke package to Hippo, ensuring all furniture was made to order in the client’s preferred materials and finishes. A standout feature of this project and design is the dedicated children’s area, providing a relaxed space to watch TV and play whilst parents browse the wide selection of vehicles. This consisted of mini armchairs in Hippo’s signature purple, lower tables and stools, and a media wall with built-in storage, prioritising the appeal to the younger audience.
As Hippo’s second used car dealership, it was critical to maintain the brand’s corporate identity and solidify the brand’s recognisability in the market. The Interact team considered the space, time restraints and key requirements and created a showroom for Hippo Motor Group to be proud of.
Suzanne Preston, Director at Hippo Motor Group, commented, ‘From inviting Martyn at Interact to help design and install the furniture at our new site, the process was seamless. He understood the look we aimed to achieve, worked within our budget, and went out of his way to complete the install in a very short timeframe! Thanks again.’
