Cork flooring gives design twist for boutique launch
London / Retail
Siesta Cork flooring / 100m2
Opening night for luxury fashion brand brings elements of style and sustainability with unique cork flooring design.
The brief
In partnership with London-based architects, we were tasked to create an eye-catching retail space for British fashion designer Sophie Hulme.
The action
Sophie Hulme wanted to launch her first boutique in the iconic Burlington Arcade in style. Using our commercial flooring contractor experience, we brought an intricate cork flooring design, visualised by Maich Swift Architects to life.
To reflect the innovation and luxury of Sophie’s designs, we crafted an intricate cork flooring pattern, combining three different colour stains and a variety of inter-locking shapes.
We pre-cut the cork flooring shapes and arrived onsite with over 300 components, which we then carefully pieced together. As well as creating a stand-out luxury feel, the cork flooring also represented a sustainable choice for this project.
The result
At the opening launch of the boutique the overall retail space design created a unique impact. It was so well received; the Flooring Co has undertaken further complex cork flooring designs for other London-based clients.
