Timothy Oulton also received the Highly Commended award in the Luxury Retailer of the Year category. Judges said that Timothy Oulton "knocked nearly all the other retailers out of the water and gave its customers experience, experience, and then more experience."

Bluebird opened as Timothy Oulton's first standalone gallery in London, and not only showcases the very best of the brand's daring furniture and interiors collections, but also offers a creative space full of sensory overload. Curios include a steel-clad space lounge called Apollo, a yellow submarine submerged in a giant fish tank, and a 1.7 ton glowing rock crystal.
