The Carnage store at dusk: a black corner building with an illuminated sign and large campaign photographs, traffic passing in a blur

The brief

Carnage asked for a prototype store that would act as the blueprint for all its future stores.

The challenge

The concept had to carry the brand on a busy corner, yet stay clear enough to be repeated in every outlet that followed.

The approach

The two-storey corner building is wrapped in black, with an illuminated sign and large campaign photographs. Inside, black walls and display tables, linear light lines, mirrored plinths and slim black rails let the clothes and the brand’s photography stand out, with a white Carnage Premium wall as a calm counterpoint.

Draft: to be confirmed by Shenali.
