Live site
Acclaimed Swedish vodka brand, Absolut, recognised a need in the art market to democratise art and create a platform for artists, curators and art collectors to make limited-edition artwork accessible and inexpensive for consumers. Concept became reality with Absolut Art, but the company needed a digital presence in order to showcase their art in high-quality visuals on desktop and mobile, with rich content to offer a deeper view into the artist behind the art and interactive tools for shoppers.

Increase in traffic from mobile
Vaimo constructed a mobile-first, multi-site solution composed of two sections: Artists, and Artworks. Rich content and one-of-a-kind functions, such as advanced auto-playing embedded videos, product bundles with artwork and framing, unique tracking of product serial numbers and inspiration pages all work to bring the local artists and exclusive pieces to life. Certain features, like the swiping tool “It’s a Match” designed for couples to discover artwork together, are only available on mobile, while the interactive and playful “Drag and Drop Room Decorator” allows shoppers to visualise artwork on their walls.

Vaimo and Absolut Art collaborated closely on the development and design of the web shop, with an agile approach. The web store was deployed in April 2015 after a 6-month development period. Vaimo put Magento’s flexibility to the test by incorporating rich content, such as imagery and videos on the site. Absolut Art wanted to convey the atmosphere of local artists and art, relying less on the framework and more on visuals and features. Vaimo built the site with mobile in mind and is currently working with Absolut Art on a project-basis.
“With security and reliability on our mind, we quickly zeroed in on Vaimo as our obvious solution partner to help build our store on the Magento platform. Vaimo’s “Magento ecosystem” of expert developers, strategists and designers covered all of our bases.”
