Due West is an independent retailer, now established in one of downtown Toronto’s busiest shopping destinations. Their collection includes premium men’s and women’s outerwear, apparel, footwear and accessories in a mix of contemporary, designer, technical outerwear and advanced sportswear.
The award winning interior design consists of black perimeter, custom bronze modular shelving and unique lighting designed by Quadrangle with the fabrication of Architecture Experience Inc. partnered with SoDi Designs.
Our scope of work included fabrication and installation of custom visual merchandising elements including a continuous-line concept bronzed steel clothing rods with shelving and mobile units in a modern 5,000 sq. ft. boutique.
