Search Menu Close Home Projects Clients Purpose People Work Contact PT EN ES Creation and implementation of the FIAT Autocentro concept Fiat Brazil Introduction With the challenge of bringing the service center closer to consumers and especially attracting a female audience into dealerships, FIAT turned to CDA Design to develop a new customer service and environment concept for after-sales services. This is how FIAT Autocentro was born — a pioneering service center model focused on experience, comfort, and closeness. Development The concept introduced a significant structural change: bringing the service center to the front of the dealership, making the service more visible, transparent, and accessible. The bright, clean, and organized environment was designed to contrast with the traditional image of a dark, technical workshop, creating a welcoming and inviting space — especially for the female audience. The visual identity followed the same approach, with graphic and signage elements that emphasize practicality, trust, and lightness. Results CDA also managed the implementation of the project in over 300 units across Brazil, between 2002 and 2011. FIAT Autocentro became a benchmark in the industry and inspired several other automakers to follow the same path, establishing the concept as an evolution in how consumers are served in automotive after-sales.

Recebemos o desafio de aumentar o ticket médio da rede, transformando o modelo de negócio: de uma loja especializada em calçados esportivos para uma loja de produtos esportivos de forma mais ampla. O objetivo era ir além da venda de tênis, estimulando novas compras por meio da ampliação do mix e da experiência de marca. Search Menu Close Home Projects Clients Purpose People Work Contact PT EN ES Concept and implementation of the Authentic Feet stores Authentic Feet Brazil Introduction We were challenged to increase the network’s average ticket by transforming the business model — from a store specialized in athletic footwear to a broader sports goods store. The goal was to go beyond selling sneakers, encouraging new purchases by expanding the product mix and enhancing the brand experience. Development The project’s strategy was to create an emotional connection with visitors, inspiring rather than simply selling. The store evolved from being just a point of purchase to becoming a dynamic, ever-changing space where each visit reveals a new possibility. This flexibility was made possible by a clean and versatile architectural design, with modular walls that support everything from full outfit displays to high-capacity merchandising, both front-facing and lateral. The product mix was expanded to include apparel in the portfolio. This variety encourages customers to return more often, increasing the potential for cross-selling. Additionally, sustainability was a key pillar of the project: we chose materials such as Ecobrick, made from recycled polyurethane — a choice that reinforces the brand’s commitment to conscious and contemporary practices. Results The new project repositioned the store as a dynamic, attractive space aligned with the behavior of today’s consumer. The expanded product mix, combined with a versatile and sustainable environment, strengthened the brand’s presence, increased the average ticket, and created a space that inspires, welcomes, and encourages customers to return.

Search Menu Close Home Projects Clients Purpose People Work Contact PT EN ES Citroën C3 Launch Material Citröen South America Introduction As part of the launch of the new Citroën C3, a floorstand display was developed as a visually engaging and playful experience. The floorstand is part of a set of materials that tell Citroën’s colorful story through a bold and captivating key visual, transforming the new C3 launch into a dynamic and scenographic exhibition. The floorstand display showcases the full product color palette, presenting features and calls to action in a way that changes depending on the viewer’s position—offering a fluid and interactive reading experience as people move around the merchandising piece. Development The strategy for the C3 represented a complete shift in Citroën’s merchandising standards across South America, coinciding with a moment of brand repositioning—now much more fun, tech-forward, and colorful. The project, featuring integrated materials including this conceptual brand display, transformed dealerships into more scenic and promotional environments, giving salespeople greater protagonism in communicating with customers.

O projeto para a Drogaria Pão de Açúcar teve como objetivo revitalizar a loja com base na atmosfera das antigas boticas e na ideia de marcas que tornam o dia a dia mais leve. A intenção era criar uma ambientação acolhedora, como nas pequenas cidades, mas com uma linguagem atual. Search Menu Close Home Projects Clients Purpose People Work Contact PT EN ES Revitalization of the store concept inspired by old apothecaries Drogaria Pão de Açúcar Brazil Introduction The project for Drogaria Pão de Açúcar aimed to revitalize the store based on the atmosphere of old apothecaries and the idea of brands that make everyday life lighter. The goal was to create a welcoming atmosphere, like in small towns, but with a contemporary language. Development The proposal was built around the use of rustic and natural materials. Shades of green were chosen for their connection to medicinal plants and the sense of calm they convey. To display the products, alternative supports such as rope baskets and wooden crates were used, helping to create the desired atmosphere. In areas where an association with the past was not appropriate, the project followed a more neutral approach, maintaining visual unity without breaking away from the overall concept. Results The revitalization of Drogarias Pão de Açúcar resulted in a more human and welcoming environment, connecting tradition and modernity. The new proposal brought identity to the store without compromising the functionality required for daily operations.

O desafio da CDA foi criar um mobiliário de uso temporário para integrar o ATM Saque e Pague à ambientação do Pier X, criando ao mesmo tempo um espaço receptivo onde as pessoas pudessem ter um primeiro contato com a marca e com o conceito do espaço, acessar o Wi-Fi e baixar o aplicativo, iniciando sua experiência. Search Menu Close Home Projects Clients Purpose People Work Contact PT EN ES Integration of the Saque e Pague ATM at Pier X: Parametric Design for a Phygital Space Pier X and Saque e Pague Shopping Iguatemi, Porto Alegre Introduction Pier X, a temporary space located at Shopping Iguatemi Porto Alegre, was Brazil’s first phygital marketplace. The phygital concept — the integration of physical and digital environments — and a frictionless consumer journey were the cornerstones of the space. To enable this experience, Pier X operates without salespeople or checkout counters. All purchases are made through an app, and entry into this digital environment begins at a Saque e Pague ATM. Development CDA’s challenge was to design temporary furniture to integrate the Saque e Pague ATM into the Pier X environment, while also creating a welcoming space where visitors could have their first contact with the brand and the concept of the space, access Wi-Fi, and download the app to begin their experience. Located in the so-called twilight zone and required to house a large-scale device, one of the project’s key premises was to prioritize the ATM’s positioning in terms of public accessibility, maintenance, and alignment with the space’s main visual axes. Based on the key visual proposed by Pier X — featuring green walls, natural elements, and a neutral color palette in its materials — our project was developed. To convey lightness, dynamism, and at the same time warmth and comfort, parametric design was used. Raw wooden boards were layered and interspersed with black ones, forming a fluid-shaped structure that embraces the ATM. The gestural and organic lines, free of edges, create a sense of coziness while standing apart from the basic Pier X furniture, which follows a more orthogonal and minimalist design language. Results The proposal accurately translated Pier X’s innovative concept, connecting technology with warmth. The project was recognized with the 2018 Brasil Design Award.
