The moon landing concept signifies the major leap that opening their first physical retail store is for the Petit Pli. It also reflects the brands origins at the Aeronautical Engineering department in Imperial College London.
Eagle eyed visitors will be challenged to locate the buried moon boot print in the stuccoed clay elements. The rawness of the walls are made richer by lighting and the ceiling reflective panels; hanging above Stanley Kubrick approved tables made from mild steel and built locally in Milton Keynes.
Petit Pli’s success is a result of the strength of its global community of users. The brand highlights its community in the store design through a commemorative plaque embedded in a clay wall. Every single one of Petit Pli’s investors’ names - of which 362 were happy to be listed - can be found here. Petit Pli felt it was important to include their names in the store, not only as a mark of gratitudes but to showcase to the next generation of shoppers building an independent brand takes a village.
