Nestled only a stone’s throw from Lush’s HQ, and despite its diminutive size, the small store in Poole Quay, Dorset has played an important role in the brand’s heritage.

The shop (just 20m2 of retail space with a 40m2 spa) has been central to the company’s business ventures since 1977, when Lush was a supplier known as Constantine & Weir.

The company has always maintained a presence at the store throughout its evolution into retailer Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics – with stores in over 50 countries worldwide.

Recognising the important role the shop has played in its history, Lush decided to invest in its interior, contracting Triplar to unearth original features – such as boarded up fireplaces – to rediscover its original charm and character.

Works to both the retail and spa areas took place over 12 days and included new electrical, heating and ventilation installations. In addition, the space was redecorated and new furniture and fittings installed.

Lush fans who make a pilgrimage to the store where it all began, can also expect to find some special items that are only available at 29 High Street. An exclusive perfume and special canvas bag, as well as a full retro range of bygone products –helping complete a unique store refit.

Triplar’s shop fitting team recently completed a new G-Star store at Westfield White City under tight restrictions.

The team had to work closely with G-Star, the franchisee and Westfield to ensure the project was completed successfully. The 164m2 store took just seven weeks to complete, including a week of removals, to complete.

The project incorporated a mechanical and electrical re-fit, full height stud work, decoration, hardwood combined with concrete flooring, and stock-racking. The wall fixtures and furniture units were supplied and installed by G Star direct contractors. The fit-out also included a new storefront and signage, as well as new lighting and life safety systems throughout.

The biggest challenge faced during the project was the installation of the new shopfront which comprised of full size glass panels, doors and an internal concrete façade. Due to the size and weight of each component careful planning and co-ordination was critical to ensure the successful delivery of the shop front window display without compromising safety at any stage during the installation.

G Star White City opened to the public on Friday 15th November 2013.
