In 2013, Futurecity has been appointed by The Crown Estate to develop a Cultural Strategy for their prestigious central London St James's Market redevelopment.

Surrounded by major cultural institutions such as the Royal Academy of Arts, the Institute of Contemporary Arts and the White Cube Gallery in Mason’s Yard, St James’s Market will form a new public square linking the Haymarket with Regent Street through partly pedestrianised streets.

In 2016, Futurecity has also curated a series of public artworks for St James’s Market. Renowned artist David Thorpe and leading design studios Studio Weave and Studio Swine have created unique installations for the space, drawing on the area’s historic reputation for master craftsmanship, contemporary art and best in class retail for inspiration.

Curated and managed by Futurecity, Studio Swine’s Street Furniture – unique benches, Pipe Bench, Shoe Bench, Shirt Bench and Tie Bench, and Loom Chair & Stool, David Thorpe’s ornate hand-made leather and ceramic panels, End Papers & Book Ends, and Studio Weave’s exquisitely designed pavilion, The Safe Deposite, collectively bind the history and characteristics of the area with the new scheme and carry the legacy of St James’s long into the future.
