Design writer and doyenne of our architecture news pages, Clare Dowdy turns her attention to retail design, sifting through the world’s high streets to find the very best in independent store design, from food outlets to furniture shops.
While nothing dates as quickly as an ill-advised fit-out, get it right, and you’re on a fast-track to global brand recognition and lasting fame amongst designer types. Her well-travelled tome is also a timely survey of spirited individualism, a bracing thought in this era of cut and paste chain stores.
