Why Design4Retail was named: A top retail design agency of the year

It was a night of glitz, glamour, and industry-defining creativity, and Design4Retail was proud to be recognised among the best in the business!

We are thrilled to announce a successful outing at the prestigious Creative Retail Awards 2025 ceremony held at the Emerald Theatre, London. The team was recognised with the Highly Commended accolade for Design Agency of the Year!

This honour is a powerful endorsement of our innovative approach to physical retail and cements our standing as a leading retail design agency and trusted retail design partner.

Our success was significantly bolstered by the shortlisting of our debut store concept for the rapidly growing sportswear brand, Montirex, in the coveted Independent Store of the Year category. Montirex, known for bridging technical outdoor gear and contemporary streetwear, needed a physical footprint to connect with its community and amplify its brand narrative beyond its digital success.

The project showcased our mastery of the experiential space. We executed a highly strategic pop-up store strategy for MontirexĀ that ensured maximum brand immersion, designing a community-focused environment that features flexible, modular fixtures and a powerful visual language. This work highlights our expertise in crafting a memorable retail customer experience strategy, demonstrating how the physical store can be transformed into an engaging hub for brand storytelling.

To be named Highly Commended Agency of the Year by an esteemed panel of industry judges is a powerful testament to the hard work, creativity, and collaborative spirit demonstrated by every member of the D4R team.

We extend our sincerest gratitude to all our clientsĀ for trusting us to transform their brand vision into award-worthy, high-impact retail realities.

This dual recognition inspires us to continue innovating and partnering with ambitious brands to define the next era of world-class physical retail.

Let’s carry on the conversation…
