Well done Simon superb work. Some of the people making comments here obviously have no idea about what Liberty stands for. Design is not about personal taste it’s about context and relevance to the target audience and expression an organisation’s core values. Is this design relevant to the target audience?? Yes. Does the design express the core values of the brand?? Absolutely. Just remember nobody ever erected a statue to a critic. (because most art critics are failed artists)
If you don’t like this work I guess Liberty is just not for you.

Hi everyone,
believe me it really works in real life !, its has a great warmth and feel to the store.

We supplied the chandeliers for this project, we specialize in creating statement chandeliers for both trade and private individuals, and are working on some new projects for Libertys at the moment.

Designed by Pierre Beuller & Jean-Christophe Poggioli of Architecture & Associes and Tamara Salman creative director of Liberty, shopfitted by Clements Retail, and with decorative relief ceiling & wall panels sculpted by Simon Doughty.

Series of large floral 3d frieze ceiling panels and Art Nouveau walls were all original sculpt by Simon Doughty who had interrupted archive artwork from Liberty. Modelling in plaster & clay formed a series of moulds to reproduce the repeat patterns, the final design was manipulated & arranged so to be approved by senior Liberty creative directors. Panel production for a limited edition of 12, was from a highly detailed casting silicon mould in dolomite calcium rich gelcoat fibreglass with hand finished acetone wash to produce matt plaster stucco finish.

Simon Doughty DesignRealisation is a commercial sculpture company who has worked on many unique projects for clients; architectural, museum & heritage environments, bespoke retail, exhibition, film & TV, ad campaigns, and public art works. Clients have included; Guinness, The Body Shop, Merrell, S4C, Paul Smith, adidas, Nissan, Reebok, BBC, Apple, and now Liberty.

hey
this is a great store. I agree the trees are maybe too much, but the furniture is very elegant and the staircase is beautilful. It is very Liberty and modern
congratulations Liberty !!!
