Any retail space, either physical or online, plays a critical role in generating business. Today’s shoppers are savvier than ever. They expect more. As a specialist retail design consultancy, Barber Design are acknowledged experts in the complex and subtle relationship between a sales environment and the choices customers make.

Passionate and Talented
Barber are a London based team of passionate and talented designers that specialise in developing retail store environments and customer communications. Since 1999 we have been creating outstanding retail environments for a wide range of clients in the retail sector both in the UK and internationally.
We offer a wide range of design services from Brand Positioning, Identity Design, Retail Design, Exhibition Design and Website Design. Founded in 1999 by Doug Barber after graduating with an MA in 3D design and technology, Barber Design set out with a simple mission: To create memorable retail experiences that drive customer awareness and loyalty, which in turn increases our client's profitability.
Since the company inception the business has grown in the last 12 years to become a recognised name in both the UK and more recently internationally for delivering exceptional work that drives sales and awareness for clients. From the early days, Barber has worked with brands such as Debenhams, Nike, Diesel, Topshop, Ben Sherman and a host of leading high street names that required excellent retail design solutions.
Continued Success
Continuing on these early successes, Barber has since worked with Jessop's to revitalise their retail offer, helped launch (and roll out) Bench fashion stores onto the high Street, designed and rolled out a large project for Welcome Break and more recently launched (and rolled out) Robbie Williams fashion Brand 'Farrell' onto the UK high Street. Further afield, Barber has been involved in designing and rolling out flagship stores for clients in Berlin, Sweden, Norway, Hong Kong , Beijing, Seoul, New York, Dubai and more recently in Iraq. In 2011 Barber were appointed to develop a global retail design and communications project for the Discovery Channel which will launch in 2012.
Not only do we work with big brands, we support small start ups and young businesses that want to grow. We recognise that they are the lifeblood of the economy and a new wave of UK and international retailers. Barber Design are proud of the fact that many clients keep coming back and this is a testimony to the working relationship we have built up with individuals and the passion we put into always delivering 'beyond the brief'. Barber design only employ a team extremely talented and committed designers. We are only as good as our next project so we make sure each and every client brief delivers beyond expectations and drives engaging retail solutions for customers.
A Fresh Approach
Every project matters no matter how big or small and each client is treated with the same level of care and attention they deserve. We bring a fresh approach and a new way of thinking to every design project we do. We do this by looking at the bigger picture but also by paying close attention to the small details. As a company we are not stuffy or fluffy and we certainly don't have big egos. It's about working in partnership with clients to deliver what's best for their business.
Also as designers we believe we should take responsibility for the environments we create and the role we play in sustainability. Wherever possible we use environmentally friendly products, sustainable resources, and recycled materials.
Our ultimate aim is to create amazing design solutions that work hard for clients and their customers. We love what we do and we hope it shows in our work.
