Captain Fawcett’s Emporium, UK

Captain Fawcett is a world-renowned manufacturer of men’s grooming products, from fragrances to beard grooming kits. The company recently opened Captain Fawcett’s Emporium, a barbershop museum celebrating all things related to male grooming and the barbering arts. Captain Fawcett needed a new air conditioning system for the Emporium. The museum is located in a spacious double-height room with a mezzanine floor on three sides. With the room’s high ceilings and large dimensions, the new ventilation system would need to supply large air volumes. It would also need to do this without creating noisy or unpleasant draughty conditions for visitors to the museum, another essential consideration in a retail application like this one. These requirements made fabric ducts the ideal choice. Prihoda fitted ducts with fabric nozzles to ensure the conditioned air would reach all the way down to the lower level of the museum. Captain Fawcett selected our recycled material for all ductwork, saving 739 plastic water bottles from going to landfill. Aesthetics were a priority in this project due to their impact on the overall visitor experience. Using our Prihoda Art service, the ducts were made in the corporate colour to match the olive-green colours of the Emporium. Captain Fawcett also chose to have custom branding/decorative text printed on the ducts to create an interesting visual feature and complete the  look of the museum.
