Andy Thornton give River Island, Westfield Stratford, a vintage make-over……..
Westfield Stratford City ‐ the largest shopping centre in Europe, is the place to go to see UK fashion retailer River Island’s brand new flagship store. With close to 300 stores across the UK and rumours of numerous new store openings, including a first in New York; River Island turned to contract furniture and lighting specialists Andy Thornton to help create a stand‐out, cutting‐edge look, befitting their ever‐ innovative collections.
An assortment of dazzling crystal chandeliers and pendants from Andy Thornton’s Empire lighting range, in a mix of nickel and antique brass finishes and crystal lights suspended from ornate plaster ceiling roses, completes the feminine, boutique feel. Vintage mirrors dotted around the walls reflect the sea of lights, enhancing even further the dazzling crystal drops. Soft pink walls continue the boudoir theme and contrast nicely with the industrial display
furniture, including the adjustable iron pub table from Andy Thornton’s hugely popular Urban Vintage furniture range. Men’s shoes are perched on top of Andy Thornton industrial
shelving unit of antiqued steel

with wooden boarded shelves, based on an original discovered in a tailor's shop in Wales.
Inside the flagship store’s entrance on the lower floor, a display of bags and purses featuring the gold studding and vintage‐style ball clasps which are so firmly back in vogue, sit on the French bistro side table and two industrial rivet circular tables to tempt shoppers in.
Further into the store the look is more urban and industrial, with vintage chairs in a mix of colours and finishes to provide a spot for busy shoppers to try on new shoes. Andy Thornton’s heavy duty Factory trolleys with their spoke wheels, a pull handle, two large shelves and four pull‐out wire baskets being both functional and durable, epitomize the cool, industrial look to display numerous pairs of men’s jeans. The Factory cart coffee table is bang in the middle of the winter knits, with jumpers, boots and warm hats arranged lovingly on top.
It’s no wonder they won Shop Fit / Design of the Year at the BCSC Gold Awards.
