Foundry and partners were converting an industrial warehouse into a galley-like shopping space for visitors to buy and discover some of the world'sexclusive design brands. During the time of the London Design Festival the venue operated as a 'pop-up' retail store and was accompanied by a one-off design showcase. On display was everything from production pieces from UK and International design brands, experimental concepts, digital installations, limited edition, gallery pieces by new and established designers. This new retail concept will be repeated three to four times a year to offer fresh new ideas each time.

The Popupstore partners/exhibitors included Moooi, Thorsten van Elten, Andromeda, Nero3, Decode London, Kathleen Hills, Voonwong & Bensonsaw, Viable, Christopher Pearson, Samual Wilkinson. It wasn't really all hot new stuff that you heven't seen before but a nice selection of pieces in an unconventional and pleasing environment.
