Nathan Charrissesin
We sat down with Collective Charrissesin founder, Nathan Charrissesin, to learn more about his experience working with Anthology Woods’ reclaimed wood paneling for his retail market and hospitality designs.
Nathan has nearly 30 years of practical experience in the design field, and specializes in visual communication and product merchandising for the markets and retail locations he designs. He utilizes consumer behavior and psychology to inform his thoughtful, human-centered designs to truly engage with the local clientele.
Nathan worked with Anthology Woods to design a retail market space for Northgate Market, integrating a variety of our reclaimed wood products into various locations throughout the design as feature walls and signage. He used layering, texture and color creatively to breathe life and personality into the walls of the store.
