When asked to design a new store for Deadly Ponies in Auckland’s Newmarket, Katie Lockhart sought to reflect and build upon the leather accessory brand’s existing design language. This was a vocabulary she was well versed in, having collaborated with Deadly Ponies on six previous stand-alone stores. “Our clients asked us to further evolve our existing Deadly Ponies palette for this store and to really consider how the front window would act to engage the customer from the street,” says Katie.
