London's [Covent Garden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/covent-garden-apartment) is home to the newest Barnaby shop which has been designed by Morristudio and architecture firm [Built Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yogis-cabin). The brand produces [elevated chocolate bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gnaw-chocolate-bar) inspired by childhood goods and the space aims to reflect that same notion with a timeless appeal of the products.

Morris set up his studio after he was a design editor at Monocle magazine and in works with the branding agency Winkcreative. He shares, "We tried to create something relatively serious but high on charm. A lot of current confectionery brands are aimed at Gen Z – big on colour, bling, shiny things. We wanted to appeal to a slightly older crowd – someone for whom the nostalgia of a typical chocolate bar would resonate – to create a longer lasting consumer base."
