Our Leeds store, nestled in the heart of the Victoria Quarter, draws variously from its bustling surroundings, constructing a layered narrative of the building’s history.

Designed by Alexy Kos and Che Huang of Child Studio, our Leeds store draws influence from early 20th century retail spaces, creating a utilitarian yet elegant, understated approach to spectacle display.

The floor patterns draw on 1940s designs ofCeramiques De La Lys, with a palette to complement the Quarter’s gilded Art Nouveau mosaics, Burmantofts faïence, and buff terracotta. The shop sign was has been hand crafted by a local artisan using the traditionalverre églomisé technique, in glimmering gold leaf set against blackened glass.

An element of Modernism is introduced through carefully sourced fittings: a ‘Jumo’ table lamp by Eileen Gray, a ‘Monk’ chair by Tobia Scarpa (son of Carlo), and an octagonal bakelite clock by British company Genelex, made in the 1930s for schools and factories.
