Re-charging luxury retail spaces with HIMACS
James Latham, the independent timber, panels and décors distributor, supplied HIMACS Maui for the fabrication and fi nishing of a new-look sink hub and cash desk at Molton Brown’s St Albans boutique. The brainchild of store designers at Molton Brown; Barbara Schweier and Krupali Patel and Aspen, this project reinforces the luxury skincare and fragrance house’s commitment to the very best in commercial design, materials and fabrication. Commenting on the collaboration, Krupali Patel from Molton Brown’s store design team says: “Our goal was to create a space that feels as good as it looks; both beautiful and practical for our customers and our teams. This wasn’t just a materials upgrade, it was about enhancing the whole in-store experience. HIMACS gave us exactly what we were looking for. It’s elegant, easy to maintain, and stands up to the daily use without losing its polish. The support from James Latham was unmatched; their expertise helped us explore how to use the material in smarter, more creative ways, and the end result really speaks for itself. It captures the essence of Molton Brown: clean, classic and luxurious.”

A disused church hall on the Helmingham Hall Estate in Suffolk has been transformed into a holiday retreat with the help of Dulux Heritage. Claire Barton, Partner at Haverstock Architectural Practice, along with her husband and two friends, transformed a disused church hall on the Helmingham Hall Estate in Suffolk into something truly special with the help of Dulux Heritage, which bring timeless colours together with modern performance. To complement the building’s character and guarantee a durable, easy-to-maintain fi nish, Barton and her team used Dulux Heritage Eggshell and Dulux Heritage Velvet Matt throughout the building. As well as a timeless look, these paints delivered on performance, which was a vital factor for this rental property due to the frequency of guest changeovers. The paints’ durability will keep walls and woodwork protected against everyday wear, while the washable fi nish will make upkeep simple so the property can continue looking its best. As well as performance benefi ts, Dulux Heritage also offered a palette of versatile colour options that were perfectly suited to this project.
