Tech brand NOTHING opens it’s first bricks-and-mortar store

The 785 sq ft custom-built boutique opened at 4 Peter Street in Soho, London. Attractions include a specially commissioned 4,000 flip-dot system wall that can be programmed on the spot to create a constantly revolving graphic story. There is also a retro phone booth where Nothing’s proprietary smartphone, Phone (1), operates as the official store helpline.

The two-storey store also houses curated collections from fashion and design brands, as well as audio inventions from Stockholm-based collaborator Teenage Engineering. Meanwhile, the lower level will serve as a white-box gallery-style space hosting exhibitions, community events, workshops and special product launches.
