HIGH DESIGN: DESIGNING FOR A NEW CANNABIS CULTURE
Presently, over 75% of the United States has adopted the legal use of marijuana for recreational and/or medical purposes. With its emergence from the shadows of the law, it's getting a total makeover. No area of Cannabis culture has seen (or needed) a bigger change than the interiors of dispensaries. Traditionally, they have been non-designed with a low profile. Now, get ready for chic retail lounges that are supported by a multi-billion-dollar industry. This class explores the best practices and considerations when designing today’s modern dispensary. Getting creative with the vibe, we cover topics including strategic merchandising, private space layout, technology considerations, and the significance of the brand experience.
