Tesco Christmas 2012 preview, London |
Food is displayed in its raw and most pure form as if being sold at a traditional farmer's market - with wooden crates and wicker baskets used to display everything from fruit and vegetables through to homemade lemonade and wine. Trolley carts are also used as a charmingly traditional way to display anything from food produce through to home accessories.
