Located in The Gosling, 80 George Street, Richmond, the new UK headquarters of Lindt & Sprüngli represents a refined blend of contemporary workspace design and brand-led sophistication. The landmark building — a complete redevelopment of a former department store — has been transformed into high-quality, energy-efficient office accommodation offering open-plan layouts, generous natural light, and elegant finishes designed to reflect Lindt’s premium global identity.
Design & Fit-Out
The refurbishment focused on creating a welcoming and inspiring environment for staff, visitors, and partners alike. The design balances functionality and luxury, combining warm textures with modern materials to deliver a space that embodies Lindt’s craftsmanship and attention to detail. Natural tones, tactile finishes, and carefully considered lighting contribute to a calm, professional atmosphere that complements the company’s heritage of quality and excellence.
Our Contribution
Merlin Architectural were selected to supply the antique brass ironmongery for this prestigious fit-out. Chosen for its timeless character and refined appearance, the antique brass finish adds warmth and depth to the modern interiors while echoing the rich tones associated with Lindt’s premium chocolate brand.
Why Antique Brass?
The decision to use antique brass hardware perfectly balances durability, elegance, and brand alignment. Its subtle patina brings a touch of understated luxury to every door, enhancing the overall aesthetic without overpowering the clean architectural lines. The material’s inherent strength and resilience also make it ideal for high-traffic environments, ensuring both performance and visual appeal stand the test of time.
A Seamless Blend of Design and Detail
This project showcases how considered design — down to the smallest architectural detail — can reinforce a brand’s identity. Our antique brass hardware complements Lindt’s commitment to excellence, contributing to a workspace that is as beautifully crafted as the products that inspired it.
