Step Inside our latest campaign; The Home of Hedonism, 70s Glamour + Iconic Design.

The hottest club in town and the setting for the Cult Summer Sale. No AI trickery here. No imaginary interiors. Just a seriously ambitious set, a lot of creative problem-solving, and our biggest shoot to date.

We created a sun-drenched, design-led escape where iconic furniture meets a little bad behaviour. Think 70s Riviera glamour, old-school Ibiza and the golden age of resort culture - reworked through a distinctly Cult lens.

The result? A world that looks almost too good to be real. Almost.

The doors are open. Step inside.

THE CONCEPT

Great design, with a 70s state of mind.

Our goal was simple: we wanted to bottle that feeling of a summer well spent. Toes in the sand. Something fruity at the bar. Nowhere else to be. Inspired by the glamour of 70s beach clubs, we created a cinematic escape where bold furniture, sun-soaked colour and a little indulgence set the scene. A Summer Sale, but not as you know it. Here’s how we brought it to life.

OUR SUMMER SALE

Escape into Summer

Club Cult taps into that collective summer state of mind - nostalgic, spontaneous, and a little more indulgent. Long afternoons that turn into late nights. One drink becomes another. Plans get looser. The usual rules? Temporarily out of office.

For us, the Summer Sale was never going to be just a sale. We treated it like a cultural moment and built a whole world around it. The pieces are on sale. The world they live in is entirely, unapologetically Cult.

Summer optimism + Iconic Design

Rich colour. Bold styling. A hit of retro glamour. We built the world of Club Cult to feel sun-soaked, playful and effortlessly escapist, ensuring that every piece of furniture was always at the heart of the action.

To set the scene, there were butter yellow striped walls, terracotta arches, and sun-blushed parasols, while Club Cult branded details appeared everywhere. Even the smallest props got the treatment, from personalised newspapers and retro wooden beach paddles to striped sliders and refreshing juice bottles. No detail too small. No beige beach club in sight.

Behind The Scenes

Tables become catwalks, sofas become dance floors...it all plays its part in our world where good design meets bad behaviour. We don't play by the rules at Club Cult...

THE PALETTE

Sun-drenched. Always.

Colour was everything with this campaign. The Club Cult palette draws from the warmth of a late afternoon - sandy golds, deep terracottas, earthy greens, and dusty pinks. The setting has a retro appeal to suit our furniture seamlessly. 

70S REVIVAL MOVEMENT

The Palette Continued...

The furniture anchors it all. Curved, generous silhouettes in speckled honey, moss green, and sky blue sit naturally in the social setting. Mixing materials like warm velvets with high gloss felt effortless and inspired. Chunky, organic lounge chairs in earthy tones that blend with the sand for a fresh interpretation of colour drenching. All of our Summer Sale collection could be equally at home in your living room or a members' beach club on the Côte d'Azur.

The result: nostalgic without being dated.

BUILDING THE CLUB 

2.8 tonnes of sand. Every grain earned.

Authenticity was non-negotiable, so we built Club Cult from scratch - entirely in-studio, entirely by hand. Every arch, every stripe, every palm tree. And yes, every grain of the 2.8 tonnes of children's play sand that made up the floor of our beach club world. That's not a typo.

We wanted that care-free summer feeling of stepping onto warm sand, of dappled light through palm fronds, of a long afternoon that turns effortlessly into evening. Building our own set on location gave us complete creative control - and a set that felt immersive.

This summer, the best design moments happen when nobody's trying too hard.

On the day...

One North London studio. A lot of furniture. Even more props. And a very clear vision.

Our model Lydia understood the assignment - draped carelessly across sofas and lounge chairs, smashing watermelons over the Layah Coffee Table, and letting mango sorbet melt over velvet dining chairs. Nothing too polished. Nothing too precious. 

Lastly, add some scattered citrus and Cult home decor and lighting, and you have every detail considered, curated, and placed with intention.
