Outstanding Visual Merchandising | Innovative Design Solutions

“Everything we do is a million per cent different from anything we’ve ever done before…”

During one of her first jobs after design school, Minki Balinki founder Nina Tillett embarked on a remarkable journey, meticulously sewing thousands of tiny acetate squares onto metres and metres of fabric for Harvey Nichols. It took many hours of painstaking work, but the result was stunning, creating a truly one-of-a-kind display.

Nina was hooked – she loved the process of taking a concept, refining it and turning it into a visual work of art for customers to admire, in that moment the seeds of Minki Balinki were sewn.

Today, with 22-years’ of experience taking brand visions and turning them into reality, Minki Balinki is a 360-degree service, award-winning, visual merchandising agency, which is pushing boundaries while designing and installing show-stopping windows and in-store displays no one has seen before.

The philosophy Nina believed in at the start of her artistic career is still at the heart of everything the agency does – fantastic visual displays don’t just require world-class creativity, they need planning, patience and serious attention to detail too.

Working with many leading brands Minki Balinki offers outstanding customer service tailored to each client’s individual needs. Whether it’s full-scale concept design and installation or turning an existing proposal into reality the agency has the knowledge and experience to make it happen.

Talented designers will take an idea and produce two or three possible directions for a client’s vision, creating mood boards, colour matching and offering advice on the best materials to use. If a client already has a concept ready to go, they will work with them to refine the materials needed to bring it to life, create timelines and schedule it backwards from the installation date.

Innovative Ways To Bring Your Ideas To Life

Minki Balinki was one of the first agencies to use utilitarian materials creatively and can advise clients on unusual and innovative ways to bring their ideas to life using everything from cable ties and electrical flex to cereal boxes and colour-coordinated books. The agency’s extensive experience with materials means its designers know what works and what doesn’t and can quickly identify what will be best for a client, saving them time and money.

As a leading visual display agency Minki Balinki believes in unrivalled creativity and producing outstanding, memorable displays. But Nina and her team also believe in producing cost-effective solutions which not only fit with a client’s vision but with their budget and timescales too.

If you have a creative project you would like to see brought to life get in touch. Whatever your project, no matter how mad or crazy it may sound, Minki Balinki can make it happen!
