About us
4sight is a creative consultancy specialising in the design and implementation of displays for retail environments, exhibitions, conferences and events. We work with many of the major High Street retailers, large banking firms and arts organisations, as well as smaller individual clients, to provide unique display and graphic solutions. Founded in 2000, we pride ourselves on our friendly and open approach, customer service and attention to detail. We think that listening is very important in developing long-term relationships with our clients and we approach each project from the client’s perspective. By taking this approach, we develop strategies that meet or exceed their expectations. Our expertise and experience in buying helps us to create products that are responsibly sourced, produced on time and are cost effective.

Austin Reed Austin Reed wanted a way to easily display large format, high quality images for their Spring/Summer 2014 range with the objective to change them easily for future campaigns. The stretch fabric system suited their purpose perfectly, enabling the client to easily change graphics with a perfect fit every time and cost effective distribution. 4sight provided specially designed frames in many sizes across the whole of the estate including the CC and Viyella brands, with project management ensuring on-time delivery for each campaign. 4sight also decorated their flagship Regent Street store for the press launch of their new Spring/Summer 2015 range.
Homebase Homebase wanted a way to display their range of wallpaper in an easy to install way. Our stretch fabric system proved an ideal way to do this. Graphics printed to polyester fabric are sent our in small packages ready to install by in-store staff, without the risk of damage and the high delivery costs associated with more traditional large format graphics printed to boards.
New double-sided frames were created for their foyer displays with slim-line frames for the walls.
For the proposition stores, 4sight created hanging circular ceiling rafts to highlight the paint and wallpaper areas. For these areas, we created complex displays of paint tins and wallpaper boards to show their current ranges and to create a focal point in the store. Our double-sided stretch fabric frames were also used to create giant hanging signs to promote the mezzanine displays.
AllianceBernstein – French café Tasked with creating a themed environment for their break-out room at the LGC conference, 4sight created a French café environment for AllianceBernstein. With zinc shelving, specially sourced props, white brick walls and fresh artisan coffee, this authentic environment proved a very popular place to visit during the conference.
Shopworks To launch the new look paint range in Belgium, Shopworks chose 4sight to design and create new product and signage displays. Using a lightweight but strong truss structure which perfectly suited the trade build environment, 4sight created displays which were easy to install. We installed these systems across 3 stores in Belgium, complete with printed banners and branding across the in-store furniture.
L’Occitane
4sight produced custom-made poster holding displays for L’Occitane.
As the shop was a listed building, no items could be hung from the ceiling so new free-standing displays were made to blend in with the existing style.
Wax and limed wooden bases and poster holders matched the existing styles used in L’Occitane’s other stores across the UK.
IKEA IKEA wanted to make effective use of the space above their lift to display new messages and have the ability to change them on a regular basis. Being up to 12m high, hiring specialist access equipment and installation crews proved prohibitively expensive, so 4sight was asked to look at ways to solve this. We supplied and installed a remote banner-lifting system at ceiling height which enabled the client to change their banners easily at floor level without the need for ladders or access equipment.
Topshop / Topman 4sight designed, produced and installed four giant stretch fabric frames in the Topshop and Topman units in Westfield Stratford City. These displays were fixed to hanging runners to allow them to be moved backwards at night, enabling the shutters to come down, and forwards during the day to hide the shutter guides.
New Look 4sight supplied and intstalled our exclusive Drive-up™ poster-lifting system across most of the New Look estate, allowing in-store VM staff to easily change high-level graphics at floor level. Especially useful in their Edinburgh store over their escalator area, the Drive-up™ system enabled the client to access the banners over this previously inaccessible area.
4sight also created special POS bars to use with New Look’s Drive-up™ systems so that window schemes and POS displays could be used as well as posters and banners.
Royal Albert Hall To cover the working area while a new heating system was installed at the Royal Albert Hall, 4sight designed, produced and installed new hoarding panels which detailed the history of the venue and described the scope of works.
Magnetic Graphics
Our innovative magnetic system enables graphics to be applied to large areas easily by in-store staff and changed as often as required.
The result leaves areas of graphics looking smooth and seamless.
Graphics are sent rolled-up, which reduces costs and damage and the client no longer has to pay for expensive installation teams.
Nick Mason
Interior Designer, David Kingham-Cooper, asked 4sight to devise strong and stylish shelving to display the large book and music collection in Nick Mason’s North London office.
Using recycled scaffold boards and industrial railing components, shelving units were created to perfectly complement the industrial style of the office.
Wallis For Wallis, 4sight produced custom-made banner bars in powder-coated steel, along with bespoke wire hanging kits. These attractive bars gave the clean look which Wallis was looking for. With the very latest ultra-thin block-out fabric, double-sided banners were created to give a high quality appearance.
Debenhams Debenhams wanted an easy way to change their graphics at their Headquarters in London. 2.5m wide Drive-up™ units set 7m high on the walls allowed them to change graphics within minutes and saved on high installation costs. Drive-up™ units were also installed in their Glasgow store which enabled graphics to be safely changed next to the escalator. With remote contacts, the system is operated via a telescopic control pole.
Harvey Nichols 4sight installed custom-made Drive-up™ units into Harvey Nichols in Manchester and Leeds.
The client wanted a way to cover the windows while new displays were being created; the system was perfect for their needs and the graphics can be re-used each season.
Barclays Working with agency Start JG, 4sight provided graphics to brand the Barclays ‘Step-into-the-night’ charity walk. The project included stage backdrops, start/finish line structure, railing covers and portable signage. For the recent ‘Ping-it’ campaign, we created pop-up video lounges and photo booths, including full connectivity across social media platforms.
Hobbs
4sight produced and installed stretch fabric frames and graphics in Hobbs stores across the UK and the Channel Islands.
Our system offers seamless large format graphics which can be sent in the post, folded, for economical logistics.
Graphics are changed by simply pushing the edges into the profile and are easily removed by pulling a small tab at the bottom of the graphic.
Poster Holding Kits
Our unique extrusion kits come with a lifetime guarantee as they never wear out.
There are no springs to trap fingers and no need for staples or plastic inserts to keep the posters in; they simply soft-push close and hold the graphic securely.
The extrusion kits can be provided in any length up to 4m and are designed with split backs to enable easy fitting for wide posters. Our kits work perfectly with paper, PVC and fabric and can be suspended from the ceiling, wall-mounted or free-standing.
Baring Asset Managment
Baring Asset Management asked 4sight to create a space to display reproductions of its extensive original art collection.
Using white modular gallery panels, a hand-made reclaimed wooden floor and contemporary signage, a clean open space was created.
4sight photographed, printed and framed a selection of Baring’s collection, along with information plaques and contemporary furniture.
LED Light Boxes 4sight produces a range of LED light boxes which can be free-standing or wall-mounted and single or double-sided. New LED technology means cool running and very low power consumption without noise. With stretch fabric graphics, new images can be changed easily, whatever their size, making the light boxes extremely cost-effective.
English National Ballet
4sight designed and produced a variety of display stands for English National ballet’s 60
th Anniversary and also created
promotional banners for their annual fundraising Galas.
Exhibition Stands
4sight designed, built and now stores this exhibition stand for AllianceBernstein.
The stand can be reconfigured for each show, giving the client excellent value, reliability and the ability to adapt to each new show.
4sight also created large-format fabric graphics for Clogau Gold’s exhibiton stand.
Modular Grids High quality modular grids were installed at Burton in both Westfield Stratford City and Westfield White City to take displays where the ceiling was too high to access.
Custom-Made Displays 4sight creates diverse bespoke displays. Previous projects have ranged from rapid-reaction games to reception counters and glass signage. Our current projects include Shopping Centre way-finding signage and free-standing displays, and wood-effect, weather-resistant metalwork for a major UK supermarket.
