Carnaby Street Craft Rebel

Based on the idea of rebellion through craft, we completed an interior overhaul of the Diesel male & female stores in 3 weeks from design to installation! We managed the refits, coordinating big stuff like new flooring & walls to neon signage, lighting & furniture, and small details like new coathooks & cut glass doornobs in the fitting rooms. We created woven slogans, and wall treatments using timber chains mesh & ribbon & even designed a brand new merchandising system all with a bespoke handcrafted touch.

Huge thank to everyone who helped out on the project; Olli, Russel, Lizzie Lay, Chris, Carita, Lizzie King, Lilly, to the awesome install team of Rich Gallagher, Paul, Chris, Rich Catterill, Johnny, and to Alice for being brilliant as ever
