20/20 set to appoint architect

Retail strategy and design consultancy 20/20 is poised to make a senior level architectural appointment in a bid to widen its involvement in “large space” retail design projects.

The appointee, described by 20/20 director Yaron Meshoulam as “quite a major player”, is expected to join 20/20 some time next month.

The consultancy is thought to be keen to expand into work on shopping centres and increase its work with large space out-of-town retailers, on top of its work with conventional high street chains.

20/20 has also been retained by fashion retailer Etam to create a new interior concept. The loss-making retailer is currently rolling out new facias to its 200-plus strong chain.
