SWEET JULY

Situated in uptown Oakland, Ayesha Curry’s Sweet July is a lifestyle and home goods store, cafe, and event space. The complex programming required the large open space to be divided into zones and the overall space was unified through the use of grand gestures and warm materials. Enlisting the talents of a host of local makers and artists, we designed custom furnishings and fixtures that bring the Sweet July brand uniquely to life.
