Architecture & Interiors

Waldo Works designed two new flagship stores for the British luxury leather goods and paper brand on Manhattan in 2016. Occupying a corner of Madison Avenue, the first store houses ‘departments’ for large and small leather goods, a book and diary room and a dedicated bespoke stationery department.

Housed in the iconic Oculus building in the World Trade Centre, Smythson’s second New York store opened with tall nile blue portals with gilt edging. Based on the famous notebooks, these portals frame and place emphasis on the product without obscuring the view through the glass shopfront.
