TexasArchitect Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 don't know if any of you have been to Italy much less the Stuart Weitzman store there. anyway, their millwork or shelving dispaly is all curved. floor pattern on the floor is curved, and everything is this off white color. apparently there is speculation that this "curved" style will make it's way to the u.s. imo it's blah. what do you guys think? here are some pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieDidIt Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 The Vegas store in The Venentian already looks like that. I was too busy looking at the shoes to be too concerned with the store. Most women probably feel that way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertigo58 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Yes it looks nice, however I see nothing "innovative" about it? That style of advertising has been around for decades. I have old silent movies filmed inside huge department stores in Los Angeles in mid 1920's and you can see this same style in the set design or background. Maybe I missed something? Again, I think it looks clean, sharp and streamlined but its been done before here in US for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchitecturalPRGirl Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Way agreed! I'm a shoe whore, I love and wear his sexy shoes. Who cares about the show racks, you could line em up on the floor for all I care. Never the less I'll check it out when I'm in Vegas next month and comment.Sorry for the girl moment guys:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchitecturalPRGirl Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Which LV shop? There are several. This one looks gorgeous. With my usual luck on the craps table I'll be able to do more than just look:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo58 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 You actually bring up a good point. That is in regards to Department Store advertising. I have yet to see that topic covered on Haif unless it has in the past and I missed?I am always fascinated to see the imagination that goes into design of stores inside and out. I personally flip out to see the shopping areas outside of casinos like Ceasar's Palace in Vegas. The domed ceilings with murals of the sky are too cool. I am a big fan of futuristic billboards and the like as I have mentioned several times on haif. I love how flat widescreen has been used lately in various stores to advertise new products. Ok I am straying but yes I too am crazy of how other cities do thier layouts. Innovation baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innovation baby!pimpolicious, then me and you can have a discussion all day, lol. i like everything about architecture from healthcare, green architecticture to high end retail. you should see what they did in the prada store. they used this special glass on the dressing room doors so that it's clear when not in use, but when the door is closed the glass goes frosted.the LV store in waikiki, hawaii will be using a visual screens at the stair landing. currently that is in construction as it's being renovated. they are also going to incorporate a display that looks a little odd. i'll be sure to post pics once completed. but yeah that would be good to have a retail thread.PRGirl, the LV store with the tubes is inside the wynn casino. if i'm not mistakes i think there are led's in that storefront so the tubes light up.

It was featured in PaperCity last spring in '06. It's freaking cool. It's in the middle of nowhere in the desert. Google it. My mom lives in Marfa, so I've been there.
