It raised a few eyebrows at the FIT Show – but Apeer’s Valentine-themed door has found star-billing again as the centrepiece of a Barbie-themed window display for a Cheshire town’s family fun event.
The manufacture offered the vivid-pink door with its heart-shaped glazing cassette, created originally for its Residence Door Collection display, to Knutsford-based Aperture doors when the retailer was invited to take part in the local ‘Family Fest’ fun day recently.
“We only had a few days’ notice,” said Aperture’s Lillie Pragnell, “Apeer responded really quickly to supply us with the special pink door with the heart-shaped glass cassette, to produce a door that Barbie herself would be proud of.
“Knutsford Council organises a number of events in the town centre and we always try and participate. With the Barbie movie just being shown in cinemas at the time we decided to have fun and create this display.
She was hardly surprised when none of the residents ordered their own Barbie door, but she added: “It drew people in to the showroom and actually, we did take two orders from people attracted by the window display, and interest from a number of others that we are following up.”
