"I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for the hard work, passion, and persistence through the coffee shop phase of the project. You have all been absolutely amazing and true to our brief, and to your word, that you would create a space that we could all be immensely proud of and that would live on the cover of any design magazine. You delivered that in spades. The feedback from staff has been amazing so far and it has already shifted the energy of our space, so thank you. On to the next phase!"

As a testament to their high level of design work, DP were awarded the following RDDA awards held in 2018, runner up for Duesouth Sandton and overall winner in the Retail category for Relay Jeans Braamfontein. In conclusion, DP are a loyal and trusted supplier to TFG, and we have the highest regard for them as a key business partner."

"Norcros has had a long and fruitful relationship with Design Partnership. DP has consistently challenged our thinking on the development of our retail space in Tile Africa. Adrian and his team scan world trends, which they then interpret accurately for local markets and individual clients. The DP team have a genuine interest in what they do and this reflects in their commitment to our business. Our business-changing ‘CX’ stores are a testament to the success of the long-term partnership we have developed with them."

Thomas Willcocks, Managing Director - Norcros SA (Tile Africa)

"We’ve been working with Design Partnership for several years, and we love how authentically they partner and collaborate with us. Most recently, we’ve worked with them on refreshing the in-store look and feel at Edgars, and we’re also currently working together on our new flagship stores, which we’re all incredibly excited about. The Design Partnership designers and architects take to heart what is needed, they are innovative and cutting edge and tapped into global trends, but at the same time know exactly how to resonate with the South African market. And for all that epic talent, they’re still incredibly humble to work with. Design Partnership is truly an extension of our own core design team."
