Given that Casio’s average customer is quite young, the store interior had to be sleekly contemporary, as well as an efficient sales vehicle. Brinkworth’s work on the design has delivered a solution satisfying these requirements and ensuring that the brand continues to be at the cutting edge of retail interiors.

The centrepiece, bonded glass light box running the entire lengthof the room like a catwalk on which the shoes are displayed and lit from below and from the ceiling spot lights on high gloss black panels.

FX International Interior Design Awards 2002

Brinkworth has brought playfulness as well as dynamism to PR company Bite Communications' former Victorian vehicle storage facility. The sense of openness and fluidity begins outside, where elements of the exterior - including a new decked walkway - extend into the building. Inside are dramatic features such as a double height chain mail curtain to demarcate a semi-formal area. That the library area can easily become a party space is typical of an approach that is fresh and fun but not frivolous
