Foot Patrol By Wilson Brothers And Brinkworth

A new Foot Patrol concept store, designed by Wilson Brothers and Brinkworth, hits Berwick Street in London this month.

Designed by Wilson Brothers and Brinkworth, the new Foot Patrol store represents the one-off nature of the products in store, all of which are individually selected by Michael Kopelman, the original Foot Patrol owner and current Creative Director.

Based in London’s Berwick Street, an understated façade leads you into a ‘second’ shop, complete with pitched roof, which has been constructed to float within the store shell. The final result was assembled from an urban palette of recycled scaffolding for the floors, walls and ceiling, teamed with satin black steel for the fixtures.

A mirrored end wall accentuates the intimate scale of the ‘inner’ store, playfully reflecting the linearity of the design as an optical illusion that appears to extend the store as an infinite space. Clever concealment of lighting and services, behind the pitched roof cladding, allows for a unique, sliding library-style product display system, which can be extended along the whole length of the store or nested at either end to leave space for special events or promotions.
