Another year has flown by! 2025 was full of inspiring retail store design, amazing pop-ups, and some exciting updates within our own factory too.
We want to take the time to thank our wonderful readers, incredible clients, and hard-working staff who all contribute to creating an extraordinary high street and setting standards in retail design.
Here’s a look at our 2025 highlights, and what you can expect to see from Kesslers London in 2026 (It will be another very exciting year).
Retail + Beauty
As a London retail design agency (who also manufacture and install) we first want to show off a few of the amazing fit outs over 2025:
- Pets at Home
- Yankee Candle
- Charlotte Tilbury
- M&S
- BAT in WH Smith travel stores
- Fenty Beauty
- Lordes cricket grounds
- NHS
Each one is innovative, perfectly crafted, and part of Kesslers London’s industry leading standards. Explore projects on our social media pages or have a look on our website at past projects.
Behind the scenes
While the factory was hard at work manufacturing inspiring designs for some iconic brands, we decided to work on some iconic designs for our own brand!
Our website, social media pages, and logo were all updated to a sparkling new style. We wanted our pages to mirror a successful customer experience – easy navigation, organised, consistent, and of course stylish.
You can now easily explore who we are, our past projects, and what we stand for on a polished platform. We are excited to continue to add to the platforms in the new year.
We have also reached 1,382 subscribers on our monthly newsletter over on LinkedIn, In-Store Insights, where our team of experts share innovative insights directly to the retail industry. If there is anything you would prefer to see specifically, please let us know! We would be more than happy to go over retail topics you are interested in. Be sure to leave a comment or subscribe if you haven’t already!
Our Factory
A key factor into why our work is so innovative, is because we are always improving our factories. This can look like new machines, processes, or anything in-between. In 2025, our factory had 4 new machines including:
- Pressbrake
- Metal Laser
- Laser Welder
- Injection Molding Machine
These helped create even better work all in-house at our London factory, and fulfills our commitment to always improving our processes.
In 2026, we are going to be implementing a handful of changes to improve our processes even more. We are making changes to ensure consistent quality control over all projects and dedicated new roles and machines to make this happen. Expect to see some MAJOR changes to our factory in 2026.
Our Partnerships
This year, Kesslers London worked with Laura Harris AKA Highstreets Positive. Laura is championing positive news across the British High Streets, and how important they are to everyday life. With an entire community of people who follow along for the good news and are a part of the retail industry, we are proud to have been a key sponsor to help Laura to continue to spread to good word of positive retail news. She has some great insight, and we recommend a follow.
Our Wins
We had the chance to work on some truly show stopping displays this year. Our team love to design and build displays that really work to stop customers and inspire them. We are thrilled to share that we were awarded a silver award for our work with Fenty beauty in Selfridges from POPAI.
Genesis Mannequins
Kesslers London’s directors Daniel Astarita and Rachael Evans acquired iconic German mannequin brand Genesis Mannequins out of administration. A brand known for its bold innovation of course fits right in with the Kesslers London factory. The brand is getting revived as you read this with new social media pages, website changes, and even an all-new range. We are breathing life into the brand and watching it come back better than ever. You can order from Genesis Mannequins right now – and even order it in EcoForm but keep an eye out for even more to come.
Next year
As you can see, we have so much to look forward to in 2026, however arguably our most exciting news is our participation in EuroShop. At EuroShop, we will be launching the first range under new ownership from Genesis Mannequins. The range will be modern, fashionable, and reflect exactly what brands have been asking for. Kesslers London will also have space on the stand, and we are currently in the process of building an iconic display you will have no choice but want to stop and grab a drink at. Attending? Reach out to the team today!
Final thoughts
Retail is our passion. We are working to continue to up our game even more in 2026, and have lots on the way.
Thanks for a great year. Stay tuned for more.
