Congratulations to Russell & George on being named a finalist for the Victorian Premier Design Awards for our collaboration on the Sarah & Sebastian store in Armadale, Melbourne. 

“Utilising a palette of black, in varying sheens and intensity, the store design creates a moody, immersive and playful experience where light can be focussed on even the smallest of elements.”

“Even in the depths of the darkest oceans, some light always pierces through.” Naoshi Arakawa. A love letter to Melbourne.

In line with our focus on sustainability in the shopfitting industry, this store was designed along Biophilic principles, the incorporation of nature into built environments. Rather than removing the existing fitout and contributing to a significant amount of waste, we applied the new fitout over the top, with all elements applied being 100% recyclable or reusable.
