Situated at the prestigious 125 New Bond Street in the heart of Mayfair, the RIMOWA flagship is a masterclass in blending historic London charm with the German Maison’s contemporary, industrial aesthetic. For this project, A. Edmonds & Co Ltd was responsible for delivering key architectural elements that help define the store’s bold look while staying true to its heritage setting within the Mayfair Conservation Area.
The exterior features a custom aluminium shopfront that we designed and fabricated to strike a perfect balance between modernity and tradition. This include a precision-milled beading profile and a folded metal fascia finished in White Aluminium, a subtle silvery finish that provides a clean, modern edge to the façade while echoing the iconic grooved aluminium of RIMOWA’s signature luggage.
The interior design follows a “high-tech meets handmade” philosophy, utilizing a minimalist palette of metal, terrazzo, andwood. Our team crafted the bespoke staircase handrail, a vital part of the beautifully detailed central feature that connects the boutique’s five floors. This vertical spine leads clients from the gallery-like commercial spaces through to the dedicated client care area, all while sitting beneath a renovated skylight that floods the central void with natural light. The result is a sophisticated retail environment that highlights our expertise in high-specification architectural metalwork and technical precision.
