FoundPop was born out of Found Associates a successful, RIBA award-winning, architecture and interior design practice renowned for its contemporary work in retail, office and residential sectors both in the UK and internationally. Richard Found established FoundPop to meet the needs of an increasingly temporary retail market where clients of Found Associates were asking for a solution that just wasn’t there! Chatting with retail clients every day we realised they struggled to find retail furniture that met five key principles: high quality in design; speed and ease of assembly (and disassembly); highly customisable finishes; scalable for different spaces; and last but not least, affordable based on use as and when needed (rent vs buy). Before we’d even got going we were discussing our partnership with Appear Here driven out of a shared understanding for the demands of the new “pop-up world”.
