Triplar has completed work on a new Leeds store for Dr Martens, a year on from building the brand’s acclaimed pop-up shop in Spitalfields, London.

It opened last month and is the first UK outlet the footwear company has launched outside of London.

The store has been furnished using items recycled from Dr Martens factories. Triplar installed a variety of refurbished racking, tables and chairs and also used reclaimed materials as the basis for new furniture – building a sales counter from assorted picture frames and a reclaimed Dr Martens factory counter top.

Work also included fitting luggage racks from old railway carriages to act as shelving and changes to the store’s lighting. Behind the scenes the team re-fitted the manager’s office and staff room.

Darryl Sweeney led the Leeds project, he said: “Dr Martens is a British institution and it’s great to have been involved in the creation of their first store outside of the capital.

“The use of recycled materials gives the store a distinctive feel and offered us the opportunity to work with furniture and fittings that had a real sense of history.

“We’re particularly proud of the way the sales counter looks. Modelled on a similar unit in San Francisco, we scaled down the design and constructed it in our workshop.”

Last year Triplar also built an industrial-style pop-up shop for Dr Martens in Spitalfields, London. Upon opening the concept store received praise from a number of retail commentators and remains a permanent fixture in the capital.
