Shoe Last Tables, Selfridges

The Project

On the second floor of Selfridges, Oxford Street, six unique Shoe Galleries were furnished with bespoke pieces that experiment with materiality. Materials not expected in a department store - clay and steel, concrete and rubber, velvet and shards of glass, cracked oak and pewter - were inventively juxtaposed.
A few years earlier, a cache of beautiful old wooden shoe lasts had been discovered on site at the Anderson House. In recollection of this treasure trove, a huge quantity of vintage lasts was sourced and used to make vast display tables. The lasts were sliced and set in pewter to create a remarkable, fossil-like surface on which to exhibit shoes.
