However, during his studies, he realized<br \/>that this was not the path he wanted to follow. He found it more satisfying to create something new using existing resources and elements. \u201cYou could<br \/>compare it to Lego, where you use building blocks to create something new.\u201d That is what they do at their company. Lanzfeld combines existing artworks with existing products, while adding value through graphics, content and appearance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19c5b61 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19c5b61\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The real thing<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-088bd8d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"088bd8d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In most cases, works of art are unique and are best experienced in person. Unfortunately, you cannot bring them home with you\u2026 However, people do like to take the experience, emotion or inspiration of an exhibition or piece of art home with them. This is where Lanzfeld comes in: capturing this emotion in a souvenir. Lanzfeld tries to use products or gifts to satisfy people\u2019s need to remember important experiences. The company<br \/>believes that it is important for consumers to receive products that preserve their\u00a0memories, but realizes that they must also offer profits to museums and other institutions. This means everyone will be happy, including Lanzfeld.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72451d6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"72451d6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Cut it out!<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0243ff6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0243ff6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Visitors must be stimulated before you can entice them to make a purchase. Products must be made as attractive as possible. Many factors are taken into account, but it all starts with the \u2018cut-out\u2019.<br \/>The artwork is not the same size as the products that have derived from it. What do you want to show? How close do you zoom in? What is the essence of the artwork? Sometimes you just use a<br \/>few interesting details from an artwork. Although full works of art are rarely used, the selected details should still represent the whole artwork, Paul says. It was almost considered sacrilege for curators and art historians to cut up paintings. This<br \/>is no longer an issue as long as it is in the correct context.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-404f906\" data-id=\"404f906\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2d013c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d2d013c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Add value through graphics<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e3c0bc1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e3c0bc1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Besides carefully \u2018creating\u2019 cut-outs of the artwork, they place great emphasis on graphic design. What is the intended look for the product? Calm or eye-catching? Sometimes museums already have<br \/>a very distinct brand identity. In this case, you can make minor changes, but must work within a particular template. However, some museums do not have a brand identity at all. According to Paul,<br \/>these projects are interesting because they often offer a lot of freedom. In such cases, they are usually asked to design a whole range of products and even shape the graphic identity of the whole<br \/>museum. When it comes to ranges of products, they must all fit together so a brand identity gradually emerges. Color proofing and graphic consistency are also very important. This means products must appear like being a part of a wider<br \/>assortment or part of a product family.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5fe1cd6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5fe1cd6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\u201cVisitors want\nto hold on to the\nmemories they had\nduring their visit to\nthe museum.\"<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d11ea6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3d11ea6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Look and feel<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be677c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"be677c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Lanzfeld only wants to deliver so-called museum quality products, so museum visitors are tempted to buy them. For example, if simple notebooks or journals are made thicker and off-white natural and environmentally friendly paper is used, people perceive them to have a more valuable look and feel. Rounding off the corners of the pages and finishing the cover with a matt coating further<br \/>enhances the premium appearance. You could also add an elastic closure, to protect it from damage when carried in a bag or pocket. While being tiny,<br \/>aesthetic and functional details and minor improvements, together they truly add value when incorporated into a single product.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4c06f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b4c06f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What you see is what you get<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0533465 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0533465\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It is important for people to immediately recognize the product, especially in shops.

As packaging is normally thrown away afterwards, environmentally speaking: the less, the better. People may buy products because of the original artwork, the graphics, the overall appearance or<br \/>function, but in locations like museum shops holding onto memories is the primary purchasing reason.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-18b134b\" data-id=\"18b134b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc439a6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fc439a6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">(Re)create<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e3ec2f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6e3ec2f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There are so many works of art, which one should you choose? When it comes to museums, they normally want their flagship piece. After all, that is what attracts most visitors. Other museums<br \/>may want advice. In that case, Lanzfeld needs to know what the museum stands for. What is commercially attractive, and can it be easily applied to a full range of products while maintaining<br \/>the museum\u2019s essence? In some cases, Paul is given a tour of the museum to choose whichever work of art he wants to work with. In other instances, like the Cathedral of Seville or the Keukenhof tulip gardens, Lanzfeld is asked to<br \/>(re)create an attractive work of art, which closely captures the experience and the venue. In these projects Lanzfeld likes to combine heritage with distinct modernity and create a new style of fashionable gift shop items.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0cf7dcc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0cf7dcc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Product Selection<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bcde665 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bcde665\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The specific products in each assortment vary from client to client.

Visitors can be divided into local returning visitors, international tourists, children, students and pensioners. Visitor segmentation is essential when creating a suitable product mix and selecting<br \/>appropriate works of art. An example is the difference between international tourists and local visitors.
