DES PLAINES, Ill.-- (September 15, 2017)--In an effort to provide up-and-coming student designers with an opportunity to showcase their skills, S-CUBE, a custom retail store fixture manufacturer based in Des Plaines, Ill., is sponsoring the 2018 Planning and Visual Education Partnership (PAVE) Student Design Challenge.
By providing students the opportunity to solve real-world retail design problems, posed by retail clients, the 2018 PAVE Student Design Challenge connects students, educators and retail professionals in a meaningful two-way mentoring relationship. The winning student designs will be featured at GlobalShop, the nation’s largest retail design industry trade show in March 2018 in Chicago.
“We are so excited to be involved in this innovative competition and are looking forward to working with the next generation of retail designers,” said Eric Weinstein, principal, S-CUBE. “The students get a chance to put their creativity to the test with a real-life retail challenge, the retailers get the benefit of a new perspective, and we have the unique opportunity to bring it all together to create and display the solution.”
S-CUBE is one of only a few sponsors of The PAVE Student Design Challenge, which is in its 18th year. S-CUBE is in the final stages of identifying a school and retailer to partner with in the competition.
