The back story
Founded in Cape Town, 1994
Founded by Derek Patrick in 1994 in Cape Town, TDC&Co began as a small retail-design studio with the big idea to create environments that go beyond store fit-out and instead bring brands and spaces to life.
Under the leadership of our CEO Derek Patrick and MD Marc Oliver, the company established its reputation by collaborating with major South African retailers and shopping-centres, designing immersive, strategic, and refined experiences.
In time, TDC&Co grew into a full-service studio, blending brand strategy and visual identity, interior architecture and spatial design, procurement and implementation.
