Bespoke installations for retail stores in NYC

Ctrl+P makes bespoke installations for retail stores in NYC: giant sculptural objects and fixtures that give a store its landmark and hold real product. We 3D print them big in white or clear PETG, paint them to your brand and install them on the shop floor.

Retail store sculpture that becomes a landmark

A strong in-store piece gives shoppers a place to meet, a photo to take and a way to find their way around. A familiar object blown up to the size of a room, like a giant shopping bag or a candy, lands in a second and works in a phone frame next to a person.

For flagships, one signature sculpture becomes part of the store's identity. For rollouts, a family of pieces carries the same idea across every location.

What we make for stores

Every piece is a large-format 3D print, built in sections, then joined, sanded, primed and painted in our NYC studio.

  • A signature sculpture for a flagship entrance or atrium
  • Oversized product icons that mark a category or zone
  • Sculpted display fixtures and risers that hold real product
  • Glowing pieces in clear PETG, tinted to your palette
  • A feature wall relief behind the cash wrap
  • Matching pieces rolled out across several stores

Made for the shop floor

In-store pieces get bumped by carts and strollers, leaned on and dusted every morning. Anything that holds product has to carry weight and stay stable. We build in internal structure, use hard-wearing coatings and keep colour consistent across locations by printing from the same files and finishing to the same standard every time.

We design to the store's lighting, sightlines from the entrance and the paths people actually walk, and we can build in cable routes for screens, power or lighting.

Custom retail fixtures in your colours

We print in white or clear PETG only. Every colour is paint, so pieces match brand guidelines exactly or use our palette, such as 01 Ivory or 05 Vermilion. Only clear PETG can glow. Flexible TPU 70A is coming soon for soft-touch details. Read how pieces are built on our process page.

Pieces can also be designed to come apart for a refit, so a strong idea survives the next store redesign.

Large-format 3D printing for rollouts

Large pieces are hollow shells printed in sections, so they ship easily, fit through a back-of-house door and join on site. Seams are filled, sanded and painted until the piece reads as one solid object, not a print. For multi-store rollouts we keep the digital files, colour records and finish notes, so a piece made for the tenth store matches the first one. Spare sections and touch-up paint can be packed with each delivery for the store team.

How it works

  1. Share the store plan, products and rollout schedule.
  2. We propose forms and fixtures, check loads and quote.
  3. You approve a prototype or finish sample.
  4. We print and finish, store by store for rollouts.
  5. We deliver and install, or ship with installation notes.

What to send us

For a store or rollout, send:

  • Store plans and fixture locations
  • Products to be displayed and their weight
  • Brand and visual merchandising guidelines
  • Number of stores and rollout dates
  • Install contacts and mall or landlord rules

Need the window too? See our 3D printing for retail window displays, or our restaurant and bar installations. Then start with Start a print.

Questions

Can printed fixtures hold real merchandise?

Yes, when they are designed for it. We ask for product weights and build internal structure and stable bases so fixtures carry the load safely.

Can you make the same piece for multiple stores?

Yes. Printing from one file and finishing to one standard keeps pieces consistent across locations, and we schedule production to match your rollout.

How is this different from window display work?

Window props are often seasonal and seen from outside. In-store pieces are touched, loaded with product and kept longer, so they get more structure and tougher coatings.

Can a store sculpture match our brand colours?

Yes. We print in white or clear PETG and paint every piece, so it can match your brand colours exactly.

A shopping bag taller than your shoppers. They will find you.
