DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE
Leading UK manufacturer of external shading systems , Caribbean Blinds , recently completed its sweetest project to date for Lord Sugar ’ s 2019 business partner Carina Lepore and her London based bakery business , Dough Artisan Bakehouse .
Providing the Beckenham High Street ( South East London ) bakery with one of its state-of-the-art fabric ‘ Puerto Rico ’ pergola awnings , Caribbean Blinds fulfilled Lepore ’ s brief to install an allweather , waterproof cover for the courtyard area at the back of the shop and to remove the piece of tarp that was being used as a temporary cover .
Ideal for large terraces , the Puerto Rico awning has been specially designed to allow for full sun exposure as well as protection and cover from the rain at just the push of a button , successfully providing Lepore with the flexibility and ease that she required .
Stuart Dantzic , Managing Director of Caribbean Blinds , explained : “ Carina was looking for a stylish , easy to use , permanent and waterproof solution to protect against the weather to enable her to open the bakery ’ s ‘ Secret Garden ’ to customers . She had seen our installations on social media and messaged us directly , asking for advice . We soon struck up a rapport , sent over some ideas and got started . It has been a pleasure to work with Carina and we are thrilled that one of our products is the reason she can keep an outdoor dining area open all year round .”
