Inspiring the Next Generation of Creators

13th June 2025

Last week the Norse Sky team had the incredible pleasure of visiting Crossflatts Primary School, thanks to an invitation from the forward-thinking team at Own Future. Cathy and Natasha talked to Year 5 students about what we do as a creative design and build company – turning initial concepts into larger than life sculptures that bring theme parks, experiences, and events to life.

As part of the workshop, we gave a live demonstration in how we design and sculpt character models for themed attractions. But the real stars of the day were the pupils. We challenged them with the fictional brief of creating a one eyed monster, inspired by Nemesis of Alton Towers! The students dove into their clay and imagination, crafting their own wild, weird, and wonderful creature sculptures.

Every model showed off a brilliant mix of creativity, individuality, and fearless design – just what the theme park industry needs ! A massive thanks to Own Future for making this happen, and to the students and staff at Crossflatts Primary School for the warm welcome. We left feeling inspired by the next generation of storytellers and world-builders.

Retail Displays That Excite and Inspire

5th June 2023

Do you want your retail displays to excite and inspire customers? Do you want them to create a memorable experience that will keep people coming back for more? As a professional retail display design and build company, Norse Sky can help.

We have over 8 years of experience in the retail display industry, and we have a team of experienced designers and builders who are passionate about creating displays that are both visually stunning and functionally effective.

We work with a wide range of clients, from small businesses to large retailers, to create custom displays that meet their specific needs. We use a variety of materials and techniques to create displays that are both durable and creatively inspired. We also offer a wide range of services, including:

Concept Development

Technical Design

Fabrication

Installation

Maintenance

We are committed to providing our clients with the highest quality products and services. We are confident that we can create a retail display that will help you to achieve your marketing goals.

Here are some examples of our work:

We worked with Haribo to create an engaging window display featuring a stylized factory ‘machine’ that produces over-sized Haribo sweets! Utilising our design team, in-house CNC capability, fabrication and audio-visual departments, the finished display attracts passing visitors directly to the store, taking their picture with the machine and ultimately increasing foot-flow into the store, driving engagement with the product and the brand identity.

Laura’s Confectionery approached us to create a series of whimsical displays featuring sculpted trees and printed foliage in their brand colours to compliment their retail spaces. The display was a hit with customers, helping to increase dwell-time instore, elevating the brand aesthetic, especially across social media, ultimately increasing sales by driving traffic into the store.

We engaged with Healey’s Cyder Farm to design, fabricate and install a series of high quality free-standing retail displays and integrated product displays for their Brand Experience Room. Combining joinery, metalwork, display graphics, large format poly-carved sculpture, GRP, themed interactive and audio-visual displays as part of the shopfitting package, we created a themed environment that elevated each of Healey’s brands. The project focussed on increasing customer engagement, providing informative content about the brand, it’s rich history, and a series of photo opportunities for social media sharing.

If you are looking for a retail display that will create excitement and inspire customers, contact Norse Sky today. We would be happy to discuss your individual project requirements and create a display that is perfect for you.

Let’s create something amazing together!

We’re passionate about what we do, and we love seeing our displays make a difference for our clients. We’re confident that we can help you create a retail display that will help you achieve your marketing goals.
