Retail Store Build-out – Chicago
A retail store designed to put the varied products for sale, both the fanciful as well as the functional, in a focused, museum like setting. The space was a storefront in an old building, narrow and deep, with a separate small space at the rear which was separated from the main part by a brick bearing wall. A new opening in the brick wall allows glimpses into the space beyond that encouraged shoppers to explore further.

Main space – The walls and ceiling were designed to be a somewhat neutral “wrapper”, letting the objects on display take center stage. Decorative display “columns” were designed to display smaller products best seen from all sides. The bases of the display columns are drawers providing storage of additional stock.
Brick Wall – The “broken” opening in the brick wall at the back of the space provides a dramatic peek into the small space beyond.
Sales Counter – A free-standing display case at the front of the space acts as the front counter at the purchase point.
