Knitted Beads x 50M
2020
Collaboration with concept store 50m, designing for the future of retail. In this project, I have designed a product - knitted beads and a sustainable system which could be the future of making textile.
50m - Experience, the future of retail.
50m is a concept offering a new experience for both designer and customer. Devoted to supporting and showcasing emerging designers, providing them a platform to sell and present their collections. The store is a contemporary reference to the seminal ‘Kensington Market’, An indoor market well known for the unusual and alternative which provided a space for fashion brands, talent and subcultures to sell their collections from the 60s – 90s.
In keeping with its initial inspiration 50m is also an events and exhibition space that features a café and in house bar. The store aims to create a ‘Community’ for both customers and designers, presenting an ever evolving shopping ‘experience’. The space holds special events programmes and talks, workshops and performance hosted by creatives from all fields.
‘ For us, we are really about what is the future of design as well as the future of retail. Looking and redefining old systems that we feel are outdated and need revising. '
Tracey Suen , Founding Director 50m
