In 2019, Nestlé opened its first Canada store where visitors can create custom KitKat bars.
Designed by Concord-based Unique Store Fixtures, the firm is known for working with luxury brands such as Tiffany & Co., Gucci. The interior design studio was awarded gold in the global A’ Design Award, in the 2019–2020 Interior Space and Exhibition Design category, for KitKat Chocolatory in Toronto.
Unique Store Fixtures, creator of custom-crafted retail environments, collaborated with Toronto interior design company model/ctzn in ensuring that the overall interior concept presented was fully realised from conception to implementation.
All aspects of the project, including custom stonework, metal fabrication, glass and wood, allowed the design studio to bring the entire front-of-house design to life. Standout features include the architectural millwork of the bulkhead and wood components adorning the entry to the store.
“Unique Store Fixtures was extremely capable of converting our intricate, highly co-ordinated design into a functional built form in a very limited time frame,” says Justin Vinet, senior environmental designer with model/ctzn. “They gave us faith in every step of the process.”
“We are extremely privileged to have had the opportunity to collaborate with the design team of model/ctzn, and it is an absolute honour to be recognised for our work and awarded this prestigious global design award,” says Ferro Corrente, COO, Unique Store Fixtures.
