Eastman Design Portal

Eastman Chemical Company announced the launch of Eastman eZone, a new interactive web tool geared towards inspiring and educating designers in the P.O.P. and store fixture industries. This initiative is the newest addition to Eastman’s Innovation Lab (www.innovationlab.eastman.com), an award-winning online design portal.

In addition to delivering information on material characteristics through a unique click-and-pull material map, eZone utilizes other interactive technologies, such as Flash™ animation and digital videos, to spotlight several innovative and successful projects.

eZone will also serve as a showcase for student store fixture and P.O.P display projects developed through the unique relationships Eastman has forged with a number of top design schools, such as Auburn University, Notre Dame, Virginia Tech and the Savannah College of Art and Design. These collaborations have provided constructive education and hands-on training to students seeking professional- level experience working with plastics in creative applications.
