London Jewelers
London Jewelers tasked Gilbert to build their new store in The World Trade Center in 2015, but this project came with an especially tight deadline. From the word “go,” we collaborated closely with the client to determine every specification needed to create the ideal environment. From defining the perfect height for showcases to identifying the right finish to match the signature London Jewelers style, every little detail was crucial to ensure a successful and timely installation.
Respecting the short timeline, it was important that we navigate through The World Trade Center’s tight scheduling and rigorous security requirements so that we could coordinate a smooth and efficient installation. Despite a packed house filled with other trades, we installed the store accordingly and finished off strong as a team. The store opened on time and continues to draw in crowds of visitors who love to indulge in fine jewelry.
Tiny Jewel Box
For a look that was elegant yet contemporary, Tiny Jewel Box turned to Gilbert for a collaboration on their new flagship store in D.C. Over a six-month period, we worked closely with Tiny Jewel Box and their general contractor to fine-tune every detail and specification, including the engineering required to shape precision-cut glass to fit their curved
showcases. It was also crucial that we ran precise electrical wiring that fit their thin-legged displays, so light would radiate onto the pieces they held. Thanks to our open and consistent communication, the project ran smoothly and the store opened on schedule, just in time for shoppers to be drawn into a gorgeous new Tiny Jewel Box during the holiday season.
Roberto Coin
For its ninth U.S. boutique, Roberto Coin chose to build in Miami’s Design District. Gilbert was tasked with creating a way to grasp the Roberto Coin aesthetic and incorporate it into the bright, buzzing streets of Miami. We converted Roberto Coin’s two-story building into a single-floor custom retail environment, creating luxurious high-ceilings, and imparting the store with a light, airy atmosphere. Walking into the storefront, visitors pass a space that mirrors Roberto Coin’s trademark Pois Mois’ iconic pieces.
Whilst standing beneath a striking chandelier that looks as if gold flakes are falling from the champagne-colored archway, visitors can see straight through to the branded back wall, inspired by Roberto Coin’s signature dark brown style. Overall, the collaborative project between Roberto Coin and Gilbert was a success, attracting shoppers that enjoy luxury and fine jewelry, and giving Roberto Coin a trendy refresh inside one of the Miami’s hottest retail destinations.
