Dr. Martens is more than just footwear – it’s a symbol of individuality, authenticity and cultural influence. For decades, the brand has stood for self-expression and resilience, and today it is taking the same bold approach to sustainability. Leveraging ARNO’s deep expertise in sustainable design and production, we developed eco-friendly Shop-in-Shops, VM props, full store fixtures and a mock shop that respect material, energy use and lifecycle. Together, we translated Dr. Martens’ ethos into retail environments that not just look great but also reduce environmental impact.
ARNO carried out a comprehensive analysis of Dr. Martens furniture. This meant evaluating all environmental and social impacts, including material, furniture energy use and end-of-life. As a result, we achieved a 25% reduction in both carbon emissions and distribution volumetrics, as well as a 13% reduction in furniture costs. These results were made possible by focusing on sustainable design, considered material choice, meticulous value engineering and improved supply chain.
At ARNO, our approach prioritises design intent to ensure that each project aligns with its core vision. For Dr. Martens, we value engineered eco-friendly fixtures, chose sustainable materials and streamlined their supply chain. We produced retail interior with installations across European markets such as the UK, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Belgium and Denmark.
