Shed wanted the design of the department to be synonymous with everything that Harrods stands for. They have created a dramatic space with a real sense of expectation which customers experience from the moment they arrive. The aesthetic draws inspiration from Art Deco and combines classicism with the spirit and true glamour of the Golden Era. This can be seen in every element of the environment, in the materials, colours, lighting and furniture as well as the architectural treatment of the space as a whole; Sorbet coloured marbles, solid brass fixtures and lacewood veneers are feminine and luxurious; the floor is a sleek, sparkling ice blue, glass composite, punctuated by Guggenheim-inspired brass trims that make sweeping curves and statement lines.
