’MEETING POINT‘ | Centre Point, London (2025)
’We were tasked with creating a temporary centrepiece for the iconic St Giles Square, situated at the base of Centre Point tower, and in the heart of Centre London. The outcome is a carefully crafted piece that captures the vibrancy and boldness of the space while offering an elegant yet inviting presence. A multifunctional installation that brings an unmissable seasonable splash of colour to the square and provides a welcoming focal area for people to pause and rest.
Cardiff, that’s a wrap! 👀🛍️
This giant 3D JD Sports bag sculpture recently took over Dewi Sant at St David’s Shopping Centre to celebrate the opening of the brand‑new JD Sports store. Bold, iconic and impossible to miss, the installation brought JD’s energy right into the heart of the city — even if only for a short time. Thanks to everyone who stopped, snapped, and soaked it in.

EID BALLOONS | Westfield, London
Inspired by the use of balloons in traditional Eid celebrations, this design is comprised of illuminated symbols from across the Islamic world being magically ‘lifted away’ by a canopy of blue balloons. This installation coincided with Westfield’s broader activities for Eid al-Fitr which attracted a record-breaking 350,000 visitors to the shopping centre over a three-day period.

ST JAMES’S MARKET SELFIE | The Crown Estate, London (2025)

Complementing the signature flying spirits above, this installation blends creativity with sustainability—reimagining and reusing the core structure as part of The Crown Estate and James Glancy Design’s ongoing commitment to responsible design. Plus, every ‘tap to donate’ to The Felix Project triggered a magical light show—spreading joy while giving back. 💚
