Visual Merchandiser / Art Director

1. Art Direction & Visual Identity – Define and maintain the visual language across all outputs for both brands, keeping their positioning distinct (District Eight as OBM; Root and Branch as ODM).

Lead campaign visuals, product storytelling and brand presentations; ensure consistency across digital, print and spatial applications. 2. 2D Creative Production – Oversee and produce catalogues, lookbooks, presentations, social and marketing assets, and sales/trade tools.

Direct graphic designers and freelancers to deliver on time and on standard. 3. 3D Rendering & Visualisation – Direct and/or produce 3D renderings for products, interior scenes and dealer proposals.

Ensure renders are true to real materials, lighting and brand tone, working with Product and Technical teams for accuracy. 4. Showroom, Dealer & Visual Merchandising – Lead visual merchandising for District Eight showrooms and dealer/distributor showrooms: product layout and zoning, styling, object curation, and seasonal updates.

Support the Milan showroom (within ~6 months) and Hà Nội showroom (within ~12 months) openings — design language, layout, styling and on-site setup. 5. Interior Arrangement & Spatial Styling – Develop interior concepts for showrooms, dealer setups and exhibition spaces; adapt layouts to different markets.

Balance aesthetics with commercial functionality so spaces support conversion, not just imagery. 6. Tradeshow & Exhibition Direction – Design and art-direct tradeshow and exhibition booths for international and regional fairs, coordinating build, logistics and product selection. 7. Photography Direction – Art-direct and/or execute product, lifestyle and campaign photography; manage photographers, stylists and external teams to brand standard. 8. Cross-Functional Collaboration – Partner with Marketing (campaigns, calendar), Product (accuracy, materials, launches) and Sales (dealer presentations, showroom support) to serve commercial objectives through visual storytelling.

Non-negotiable for this role – Formal interior design, spatial design or architecture background (degree or equivalent professional track record) — this is a spatial role, not a graphics-only role.

Demonstrated experience designing and styling physical retail / showroom environments, not only 2D assets.

Material literacy in premium furniture materials — oak and timber, stone, metal, leather, fabrics and considered finishes — with the judgement to art-direct them faithfully. Experience – 5+ years in Art Direction and/or Visual Merchandising, ideally in furniture, interior or lifestyle brands.

Proven delivery of showroom, booth or exhibition environments from concept to on-site execution. Skills – Strong eye for composition, materiality and spatial design.

Adobe Creative Suite (PS, AI, ID) and 3D tools (3ds Max, Blender, SketchUp or similar); understanding of lighting and rendering realism.

Able to translate brand identity into both graphics and space, and to move between concept and hands-on execution. Mindset – Reserved, design-literate taste aligned with the brand; commercially aware of how visuals support sales.

Structured; manages multiple 2D, 3D and spatial outputs in parallel; comfortable working within a defined brand-approval model. Success Metrics – Consistency and quality of brand visuals across all channels and both brands.

Effectiveness of showroom, dealer and tradeshow layouts on client engagement and conversion.

On-time, on-standard delivery of 2D and 3D assets.
