For the first Spun store in Covent Garden, NLS was tasked with infusing a typical Victorian shopfront with a sense of mystery and interior delight. The handcrafted aspect of sweet making was the principal inspiration, with fixtures and fittings designed to evoke traditional values and processes.
A central element of the shop design is the pick-and-mix display. Rather than a standard grid of plastic containers, the array of multicolored sweets is set within an elaborate sculptural container, inspired by scientific models of the atomic structure, and built from stainless steel cylinders contained within a framework of copper pipes. Storage units are also made from the same materials, with glass shelves suspended within the copper framework and then set against the bistro-tiled walls. A combination of matte and gloss tiles are arranged in a criss-cross geometric pattern, with the deep bevelled tile edges adding texture and shape to the walls.
Above the counter are four Jo Hammerborg pendant lamps, a reissue of a 1963 design finished in copper and resembling molten drops of chocolate. The overall effect is part laboratory and part wonderland, a design that reflects the fact that Spun’s customers are no longer just children, but also office workers, tourists, passersby and true aficionados of handmade goods.
