The National Association of Shopfitting (NAS) Design Partnership Awards take place next month and Triplar has been shortlisted for its work with Dr Martens.

Now closed, the Dr Martens pop-up store in Spitalfields, London, collected the ‘Pop-up Store of the Year’ award at last year’s Retail Week Interiors Awards 2010.

Designed by consultancy Campaign, the store was originally envisaged to be ultra-low-cost and temporary. It attracted critical acclaim from a number of retail commentators for its rugged, paired-back ‘rough luxe’ appearance and commercial success.Triplar completed The DMStore in just six days, fitting a combination of off-the-shelf industrial fittings, like simple light fittings which hang along one wall, and customised elements such as a cash desk made from salvaged crates.

The Triplar team also worked closely with Campaign to value engineer the design and ensure the project came in on budget.

The National Association of Shopfitters is the only trade association that exclusively promotes the shopfitting industry and has been doing so since 1919. The NAS Design Partnership Awards take place on May 19^th in London.
