Thousands of people, including many families, were drawn to Granary Square, in Argent’s King’s Cross/ Kit & Caboodle love working with Argent to create unusual experiences on their ever-expanding site at

Kit and Caboodle was enlisted to celebrate the launch of the new retail area on King’s Boulevard at Kings Cross and to conceptualise, design, produce and manage a Christmas launch extravaganza! Taking over one of the retail units to install a unique experience that included independent traders, morning yoga, DJ led dance nights and Christmas workshops. All supported by festive cocktails served at our custom bar. We needed to create a visually stunning space that served to provide as many interactive opportunities as possible. So thats what we gave them! Taking over an unfinished retail unit we designed our own version of a Christmas forest with shimmering fabrics, neon lights and our own Christmas tree composed of bright pink presents! Turning the grey concrete space into a beacon of light and colour. We then collaborated with local traders to populate the space with a fantastic selection of clothing, jewellery, paintings and just about everything perfect for under the tree gifts. In addition to this we curated a timetable of events that ran throughout the installation. creating partnerships with brands such as Frame, Spiritland and Urban east makers to give both the commuters, passers by and the professionals working in the area a much needed injection of excitement and revelry!

Embracing spring and sustainable comfort at Granary Square The Challenge How do we transform the Granary Square canal steps at the King’s Cross site into a welcoming social space, fostering connections and comfort as we transition out of social distancing measures and into the summer season? Insight and Ambition We aimed to transform the Granary Square canal steps into a serene, garden-like space, fostering comfortable reconnection after social distancing. Inspired by seasonal changes and the energy of spring, our design encourages socially distanced gatherings while blending nature and community. Sustainability was prioritized to ensure lasting integrity, reflecting our commitment to enduring spaces. Highlights Pop-up garden with comfy seating for spring relaxation among flowers. Inspired by spring and nature, the designs soften the urban space with organic shapes. The installation was brought to life by beautiful perennials emerging from the planter beds to provide a sea of greenery with splashes of colour Salvaged timber was upcycled into planters and seats, adding rustic charm sustainably. Lounger seats were strategically spaced for safe gatherings, maintaining social distance. The spot, popular among crowds, showcased 90% of the furniture's wood in its natural state, accentuated by a deep varnish, with lime green panels promoting greenery and sustainability.

Illuminating the way at Kings Cross Estate The Challenge To provide a cohesive site wide lighting scheme for the Kings Cross Estate, brightening up the ambiance during the dark winter evenings to create a safe and inviting environment for shoppers, commuters, office workers and residents. Insight and Ambition Acknowledging the client's recurring need for site-wide lighting, we embarked on a quest to explore high-quality lighting solutions that could serve as long-term assets. Our ambition was to elevate the standard of lighting across the estate, spreading costs over three years for a cost-effective solution. Through innovative landscape and lighting designs, we aimed to encourage exploration of upscale retail outlets in King’s Cross, boosting destination marketing, business, and creating a vibrant atmosphere in surrounding F&B outlets. Highlights A spectacular 45ft Hero Christmas Tree. The hero neon ‘scribble tree’ which has gained much popularity. 160+ site wide trees dressed in pea lights with 1000s of metres of festoon lighting. Way-finding lit installations across the site encouraging exploration. Energy-efficient lighting solutions, such as LED lights, reduced energy consumption and operational costs - whilst lighting up some of the site’s most outstanding architecture. The ever expanding Kings Cross Estate has gained popularity as the “must see” destination for shopping food and fun in the run-up to Christmas.
