Inspired by its surroundings Circus is a beautifully designed space to shop and work. The cardboard serves as a perfect backdrop for the stores products, an eclectic range of vintage homewares, art and design - most of which is sourced locally. Cardboard is not the first thing you see but a beautiful glass, plate or trinket. Once noticed the cardboard reveals a variety of textures in every area of the shop, the draped honeycomb ceiling, the corrugated edges of the round table, the cut out open sign give the space depth, warmth and curves which inspire and delight customers on a daily basis. This is not self conscious whacky design for its own sake but design that shows true understanding of the stores surroundings, customers and owners - authentic peoples design.
