Diptyque opens art-inspired Battersea Power Station store
Diptyque has opening a boutique at the Battersea Power Station mall in London. The latest beauty and home fragrance brand's store spans 667 sq ft in Turbine Hall A, designed to reflects both the house's and the venue's 'architectural evolution'.
It comes with a "Parisian apartment aesthetic... echoing the spirit of Diptyque's first boutique' at 34 boulevard Saint-Germain in the French capital.
It joins the recently opened Maison Diptyque London on New Bond Street, and boutiques in Covent Garden and Canary Wharf. The new boutique features floor-to-ceiling windows and a custom handmade mosaics, inspired by both local and Parisian influences.
The design pays homage to the spirit of Battersea Power Station's industrial heritage with nods to its Art Deco design, reflecting the building's new era as a 'vibrant retail, leisure and cultural destination for London'.
Details include metallic and wrought iron accents, large patented steel product discovery tables, deep red brick walls also emulate the power station's exterior, exclusively-designed stained glass windows and a main ceiling light fixture created by Studio Vitrail Bianconi.
Continuing the house's commitment to its artisanal heritage, London-based artist and designer Gergei Erdei has also created a large artwork for the fragrance wall, inspired by the Diptyque archives.
Amanda Morgan, managing director of Diptyque UK, said: 'As the brand's first presence in the [South West
London] area… our new boutique showcases many artistic collaborations which come to life in this landmark location.'
Harriett Renny, Leasing director at Battersea Power Station Development Company, added: 'Beautifully designed, the new boutique will bring Parisian chic to the Grade II listed landmark… and [becomes] a brilliant addition to our fragrance and homeware offering.'

Refiberd wins Trailblazer prize at the Global Fashion Summit
The Global Fashion Summit, hosted by the Global Fashion Agenda association, brings together global industry leaders, CSR stakeholders, and technology innovators to shape a more responsible future for fashion. The event serves as a catalyst for industry-wide change, encouraging decision-makers to turn sustainability ambitions into action. For its 2025 edition, held from June 3 to 5 in Copenhagen, Denmark, the event attracted more than 1,000 decision-makers to explore "the barriers and bridges" to progress in sustainable fashion. Industry leaders shared insights on key challenges and innovations: Kering addressed human resources, Target discussed the relocation of value chains, Zalando tackled the harmonization of clothing size labeling, Re&Up and Lycra presented new material developments, and H&M, Lenzing, and Tommy Hilfiger focused on strengthening a circular value chain. The Trailblazer Programme 2025 award placed a strong emphasis on circularity. The prize, which supports sustainable innovation in the fashion industry and attracted over 200 entries in its second edition, went to Refiberd. The company, which previously won an eBay Innovation Award in 2024, stood out for its "high impact potential." The California-based company, founded in 2020, has developed a textile composition identification technology that combines spectral imaging and artificial intelligence. This tool enhances the textile recycling chain, improves garment authentication for resale, and ensures better material traceability. The prize includes an investment of up to $200,000, along with support from PDS Ventures, the award's partner. The Global Fashion Summit has become a key platform for retailers and manufacturers to showcase their sustainability initiatives. This year, Zalando presented a report on the importance of sustainability for consumers, Lycra introduced its Qira corn-based fiber, eBay highlighted its initiatives for unsold goods, and Fashion for Good and Arvind unveiled plans for a sustainable textile innovation center in India. In the same spirit, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation launched its "Scaling circular business models" guide to encourage fashion executives to integrate circular models into their business strategies.
