Heinemann Duty Free

With over 11 million hectares of forest, Germany is one of Europe’s most densely wooded countries—and a number of highly unusual trees have taken root at the Heinemann Duty Free shops at Frankfurt International Airport.

GRAFT designed forest-themed installations for the “Made in Germany” regional specialty areas of three different Heinemann duty free shops: Dynamic tree sculptures made of stacked layers of oak that serve as eye-catching centerpieces for shoppers.

With this modern interpretation of the forest, GRAFT has created an open and fluid space, a clearing in which passengers can pause for a while amid the hustle and bustle of the airport terminal.
