Garrard & Co
Display case design | Bespoke joinery
Founded in 1735, and formerly jewellers to the Crown, Garrard & Co is sited at the top of London’s Albemarle Street, home to the most prestigious jewellery brands in the world. We were invited there to meet the creative director, to see whether we could collaborate in the design and installation of seven double-sided display cases for the showroom windows.
The key objective was for the window cases to create impactful displays that would face to the street or, alternatively, to an audience within the showroom. The design had to take aesthetic cues from the brand guidelines and especially from the showroom furniture. We worked closely with Garrard’s in-house design team to develop a bespoke showcase solution that was glazed on all four sides, with the potential for either the street or showroom-facing glass to be blanked out.
To compliment the existing showroom furniture, the base plinths were veneered in American walnut, with a custom nickel silver, powder-coat finish to the glazing frames and inlay details. Other key features included a fob-operated electronic locking system and an array of both warm and cold temperature LED mini-spots, to provide the best colour rendition for both gold and silver.
