St James's Market Art Programme

A series of public artworks have been unveiled at The Crown Estate’s landmark development St James’s Market, built in partnership with Oxford Properties. Renowned artist, David Thorpe, and leading design studios, Studio Weave and Studio Swine have created unique installations for the space, which draw on the area’s historic reputation for master craftsmanship, contemporary art and best in class retail for inspiration.

Curated and managed by Futurecity, Studio Swine’s Street Furniture – unique benches, Pipe Bench, Shoe Bench, Shirt Bench and Tie Bench, and Loom Chair & Stool, David Thorpe’s ornate hand-made leather and ceramic panels, End Papers and Book Ends, and Studio Weave’s exquisitely designed pavilion, The Safe Deposite, collectively bind the history and characteristics of the area with the new scheme and carry the legacy of St James’s long into the future.
