To bring this ambitious vision to life, Fabbrica Unique (Unique Store Fixtures Ltd)North America’s leader in custom retail environments—joined forces with Toronto-based design firm model/ctzn. Leveraging decades of expertise in luxury retail fabrication and bespoke store design, Fabbrica Unique fabricated all custom millwork and ensured the interior design was realized from concept through to installation, delivering a cohesive and visually striking retail environment.

The project demanded a high level of craftsmanship across a variety of premium materials, including custom stonework, metal fabrication, glass, and fine wood detailing. These elements combined to create a seamless front-of-house experience that is both functional and aesthetically sophisticated. Among the standout features are the architectural millwork of the bulkhead and the intricately detailed woodwork at the store entry, which together establish a bold, immersive environment that reflects the playful yet luxurious identity of the KitKat Chocolatory brand.

Every aspect of the store demonstrates Fabbrica Unique’s expertise in high-end retail environments, emphasizing how carefully considered design and precision fabrication can elevate a brand experience.
