PRODUCT DEVELOPER INTERN FIRETRAP HEAD OFFICE LONDON!!!

An outstanding opportunity has arisen for a highly talented and ambitious intern to join our team at World Design & Trade in FIRETRAP LONDON. This role will involve supporting the Design Team and controlling styles from Design through to delivery.

Firetrap was founded in 1993 - a brand that was anti-bureaucratic and unconventional- "Edgy""Dangerous""Individual" "English" and "Uncompromising" were used to describe this brand by its founder and the words are just as relevant to the label today, almost 20 years later.

Firetrap capitalises on the fact that the brand is designed in London by British designers - Firetrap is defined by the London look and attitude, it is a mirror to London style and culture - Firetrap is London and London- ism is the future. Taking inspiration from all the sights, sounds and flavours of London life, Firetrap's time is the night-time, they are grabbing hold of the legendary subversive wit and rebellious spirit associated with the city and making it their own.

Having firmly established itself internationally, the brand is sold in more than 1,500 doors worldwide in over 30 countries. There are five stand-alone stores in the UK alone, including our flagship store in Covent Garden.

Away from the UK the brand is a key player worldwide with a store in Dubai and concessions throughout Italy. 2009 has seen huge expansion within the UK market as well as on an International level.
