The Guardian has written a pretty glowing article about Monsoon and their success in the economic downturn, along with a mention of the rebranding work we did with them. Congrats to Peter Simon for steering Monsoon so well!

Monsoon has just reopened their Oxford Street, London, location with a completely overhauled environment and branding by Pompei A.D.
The Pompei A.D. designed Disney Store has just been featured on the cover of DDI magazine.
Disney Store ultimately selected New York-based design firm Pompei A.D. to work with its in-house design team to create a fresh look and feel. Paul Gainer, vice president of Disney Store, North America, says the ultimate goal for the redesigned store was to make it “the best 30 minutes of a child’s day.” “Pompei really grasped [our] vision statement from the beginning,” he says. “They created a design aesthetic and experience that went with the vision statement and used it as a filter from the beginning of the process.”
Our recent rebrand of international retailer Monsoon has just appeared on branding blog Brand New. It’s great to see such a positive reaction from our peers!
A collaboration between New York-based Pompei A.D. and the Urban Outfitters design team, the new Fifth Avenue Urban Outfitters store in Manhattan artfully blends touches of classic New York with eco-friendly design materials. Parts of the store feature Coney Island boardwalk flooring, while reclaimed maple flooring is used in other sections. The bi-level store also touts the building’s original exposed structure.

The insanely cool fitting rooms designed by Joe
Urban Outfitters has opened a two-level, 12,000-sq.-ft.store on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.The floors and walls are infused with explosive patterns of wood planks, with the fitting room and stairway design picking up on the use of wood and forming a sculptural landscape within the space.
Randhir Singh, executive director of design at Pompei A.D., stated that working within a concrete shell, the design team was able to offset this basic material by infusing the floors and walls with explosive patterns of wood planks. The fitting room and stairway design picks up on the use of wood and forms a sculptural landscape within the space. This has resulted in a warm and inviting experience.
If you’re in New York, be sure to check out the new Urban Outfitters that just opened at 200 East 86th Street. It was designed by our Urban Outfitters team, with Joe Saha taking the lead on the project.
