Ports 1961’s 750 sf store is situated in Harvey Nichols Knights Bridge London. The design extends the brand’s signature material language to shape the 75 m2 retail experience.

Walnut plank flooring wraps floor to wall to ceiling creating a catwalk like feel that draws shoppers in serving as a backdrop for the projected fashion show screen. A golden metallic fabric padded wall shimmers against the wood surfaces complementing custom fitting rooms with backlit framed mirrors and pivot mirrors.

Concealed ceiling light coves enhance spatial geometry while a dramatic Barlas Baylar chandelier and rotating suspended mannequins (displaying clothing from all angles as visitors pass) elevate the brand experience.
