Engagement level

Specialist package

The brief

A flagship intended to set the physical language for a wider international rollout, with bespoke display systems and sculpted architectural elements.

The complexity

Finishes with no established manufacturing route, an immovable trading date, and the need for every component to be repeatable at scale.

The Método role

Prototyping, specialist fabrication, quality control and installation.

The response

Full-size mock-ups established tolerances and finish standards; approved details were converted into a production kit so subsequent stores could be built from the same rules.

The result

Store opened on the trading date, with a documented component library now used across the rollout.
