French term or phrase: Corner
I'm trying to translate the word "corner" ie when a brand has a retail outlet within a department store rather than having its own shop. My client has suggested "Niche" but I can't find any examples of this being used in English. Has anyone come across this before?
Thanks.

agree  Tony M: I don't actually see any problem with using just 'concession' on its own: "...has a concession within X department store"; but as Sue says, the addition of 'stand' connotes something much less formal.

neutral  sueaberwoman: Agree with Tony. Concession a possibility, but NOT concession STAND, used for sales of specific items (hotdogs, T-shirts) in cinemas, sports arenas, etc. (see Wikipedia).

disagree  Gayle Wallimann: Not generally used in the context.

agree  Tony M: I'm glad you said that, Gayle! I thought it, but wasn't brave enough to stick my neck out with it, not having personal experience of the term. I do have slight qualms, though about 'the Gucci corner'... ?

Reference: Génèse d’un corner éco-conçu

Reference information:
Génèse d’un corner éco-conçu

Le corner est un élément emblématique pour une marque car il inscrit son identité dans le paysage. La méthodologie se construit pas à pas et intègre de nouveaux paramètres. Par Les Sens intègre dans sa réflexion sur le point de vente le tryptique du développement durable, sociétal, économique et environnemental. L’objectif est d’optimiser tous les éléments qui composent un corner, de trouver une meilleure adéquation entre les fonctions, l’esthétisme et la protection de l’environnement, tout en répondant aux problématiques de l’entreprise : ici une entreprise de prêt-à-porter qui souhaite avoir 2 ans d’avance, renouveler son image, occuper une place de leader et remplacer en 6 mois plus de 50 corners. Un projet qui permet de sensibiliser une société à cette dimension nouvelle du design tout en conservant un caractère résolument contemporain.


La phase de réflexion est essentielle parce qu’elle permet de mesurer les performances des produits et de limiter l’impact sur l’environnement à l’aide de l’étude du cycle de vie tout en proposant le maximum de possibilités architecturales.


L’éco-conception n’est plus envisagée comme une contrainte mais comme un moyen de dynamiser un concept. Se poser les bonnes questions et trouver les bonnes réponses, ce n’est pas parce qu’un matériau est naturel qu’il est irréprochable, seule l’étude du cycle de vie peut être une référence.


Identifier les matières, les technologies, comment les utiliser, comment les mettre en œuvre, tout en tenant compte des besoins identifiés. L’éco-conception permet également de contrôler les coûts parce que le maître mot de la démarche est d’optimiser toutes les ressources.
