Fortnum & Mason
Inspired by the elegance and sophistication of Fortnum & Mason’s iconic Piccadilly store, MBDS helped the Royal grocers introduce their brand to Asia.
Fortnum & Mason stands as a beacon of English hospitality in a burgeoning market

Blending together the original store's Georgian design influences with eastern inflections, moments of joy and innovation, the shop floor effectively contrasts against the ultra-modern external architecture. A ruby red woollen carpet flows throughout and pops against eau-de-nil walls and brings to life the innovative display items, including a fresh pass, tea counter and whimsical champagne display.
Ascending a sweeping staircase with hand-painted mural detailing by Melissa White, guests will arrive at 181 Restaurant. The restaurant is filled with natural light, thanks to fully-glazed windows and a soft colour palette of pale green which tones effortlessly against a striking cream and gold veined marble at the bar. Pops of burnt orange leather and a unique art collection create a sense of harmony and elegance, encouraging guests to sit back and relax.
