beauty and quality of the finest jewellery
Sydney-based high end fine jewellery and
watch specialist, J Farren-Price has expanded its Sydney CBD presence by almost
50 per cent, undergoing an extensive refit as a result.
The 70 year old family company established in 1942 by John Farren-Price has been housed in its Castlereagh St Sydney premises for around 35 years, expanding the store down the length of the St James Arcade to 120sqm.
So in 2010 when the family found it was once again outgrowing its space, it turned to Design Portfolio, who had worked on its last refurbishment and expansion in 2006, to create a new look and atmosphere.
At 180sqm, the new store joins the original tenancy with that of the St James Arcade’s former shoe store, effectively bolting on an addition 60sqm of selling space.
Julian Farren-Price, director of the company, told Inside Retail Magazine the previous store was shaped more like a “bowling alley”, having expanded down the arcade, but being unable to gain any extra width.
By combining the new store and the old and changing the layout of front and back areas, a larger and more practical rectangular retail space was achieved by Design Portfolio and the orientation of the store could rotate to face directly onto Castlereagh St (instead of the St James Arcade).
Danielle Visione, principal at Design portfolio, said the new layout needed to integrate a strong room, storage for catalogues and boxes, two offices, a dedicated Patek Philippe Private Room, Rolex Area, and watch display cases, along with the J Farren-Price jewellry collections.
The goal was to create a “stunning,will show you how to make a flower hair bow out of your own hair flower. elegant retail experience through the use of high quality finishes that extenuates the beauty and quality of the finest jewellery and watches the world has to offer for their discerning clientele,” says Visione.
The result is a modern but classic design using finishes that compliment the exclusive products and brands sold. A huge amount of finishes were used within the store, including bronze mirror, limestone, leather wall cladding, wallpaper, marble, baresque illume, anodized aluminium, brass, glass, and polyurethane.

Also custom designed to match are entrance handles with JFP initials laser cut in bronze finish.
When it came to security, a new Dialock system was chosen for electronic locking on all cabinets and storage to allow for seamless doors.
Security was also integrated into the displays and storage to avoid using keys. The integration of this into the joinery was complex.
