Previously a Jaeger menswear shop, the existing white-box shopfit has been stripped away to expose two surprising double height spaces with a continuous skylight.
Revealing a bright and airy space, the flooring is a combination of reclaimed timber and new whitened oak, with pale pink painted walls and an off-white ceiling. The bespoke hanging rails we designed for the market town series are made from polished stainless steel with brass details and the familiar embossed Jigsaw logo. Shelves are made from reclaimed timber.
The carbon footprint of the shopfit has also been reduced by using new technology Plumen lamps in our custom-made single pendant lights, contrasting nicely with the two large vintage chandeliers hanging from the rooflight.
The fitting room area is generous with great natural light from the rooflight above. An extraordinarily long sofa was found and reupholstered, providing a comfortable place for the shoppers’ companions to relax and wait.

The cashdesk has been fitted with a zinc clad top and is covered with illustrated legs on the hand-painted canvases by artist Poppy Heading, commissioned by us.
