Custom retail displays and CNC-manufactured fixtures for Finisterre

We’ve worked with Finisterre on a growing number of retail projects across the UK, manufacturing custom displays, furniture and point-of-sale pieces from our workshop in Cornwall.

For the refit of Finisterre’s Bristol store, Kernow Coast Creative produced a range of bespoke components designed to sit within the wider shop fit and give the store flexible, practical ways to display product.

Our role focused on what we do best: taking ideas and designs and turning them into accurately manufactured, practical retail fixtures, while working alongside our trusted partners to bring the wider space together.

Bespoke retail manufacturing

A retail space has to do much more than look good. Displays need to work around changing collections, make good use of limited floor space and stand up to constant use.

For Bristol, our work included CNC-manufactured display and storage elements, pegboard-based merchandising fixtures and bespoke retail furniture.

Several of the pieces combine display space with useful storage, helping maximise the amount of stock that can be kept close to the shop floor without compromising the appearance of the store.

The modular pegboard system provides another level of flexibility. Shelves, pegs and accessories can be repositioned as products and merchandising requirements change, rather than the store being tied to a completely fixed layout.

Made in Cornwall, installed in Bristol

The components were manufactured at our Cornwall workshop before being supplied for the Bristol refit.

Working digitally allows us to manufacture one-off pieces while also keeping designs repeatable. Once a fixture has been developed and proven, the same design can be reproduced, modified or resized for future stores.

That has become an important part of our work with retail clients: producing custom pieces that retain the character of a bespoke fit-out while still being practical to roll out across multiple locations.

Working together on the complete space

Projects like Bristol are collaborative by nature.

Alongside the bespoke elements manufactured by Kernow Coast Creative, we work with trusted partners whose skills complement our own, allowing different materials, fabrication methods and on-site expertise to come together as part of one cohesive retail environment.

For Bristol, this included the wider fit-out, scaffold-tube display systems and timber detailing that sit alongside our CNC-manufactured fixtures throughout the store.

This collaborative approach allows us to concentrate on the specialist manufacturing we’re set up to do exceptionally well, while still being closely involved in projects that extend well beyond the CNC machine.

For our clients, it means we can be part of delivering much more ambitious retail spaces, bringing together the right skills for each part of the project.

CNC manufacturing for retail and shop fitting

Projects like Bristol are increasingly where Kernow Coast Creative fits best.

We work with brands, designers, shopfitters and specialist partners to manufacture everything from individual display components through to repeatable fixture systems for multiple stores.

With CNC routing, laser cutting and digital fabrication in-house, we can prototype an idea, refine it and then manufacture further units when they’re needed.

Our work can include:

Custom retail display units and furniture
Pegboard and modular merchandising systems
Point-of-sale displays
Product-specific display components
Storage integrated into retail fixtures
CNC-cut panels and components for shopfitters
Small production runs and multi-store roll-outs

Based in Cornwall, we manufacture for projects locally and throughout the UK. Explore our retail displays and fixtures or see more of our work with Finisterre.
