Candor Candy
Brooklyn, NY

Interior of a bakery or cafe with large front window, pink floral arrangements, white and pink tiled counter, framed flower art, and various decorative items on Tables and shelves.

What would it look like if a fashion house opened a candy shop? That was the brief Candor's founder brought to Brian Cash Works. Rather than nostalgia and retro Americana, BC.W looked to boutique retail for inspiration, bringing its restraint and rigor to an unexpected category. Black cherry-stained millwork lines the walls, transitioning into veneer panels that create a moody backdrop where colorful candy pops. Feature tiles in a custom colorway anchor the checkout counter, rich velvet curtains cleverly disguise the back of house, and built-in window benches invite visitors to pause. More than a candy store, Candor is a place to find great gifts, discover local brands, and treat yourself.
