Retail Space Ideas
After a well rested fall break, we were given our final project in studio. We were given some idea of what we had to do but we didn't know all that was going to be given. Now we know. We have to design a retail store (of our choice) in either the Shops at Buffalo Bridge or Biomech Mills. Since I was working on the Shops at Buffalo Bridge I decided to stick with that idea. As for the retail store, I was thinking about selling lamps or organic lighting fixtures. I have a particular company in mind to sell from, Stray Dog. In my personal experience, the store that I worked for sold these lighting fixtures and they were very successful. People came from hours away just because of the lamps we had in the store, and they weren't cheap either. So I think that people will do the same if my retail store sells the same type of items, something that is unique and thoughtful. These lamps will draw people into Revolution Mills and the Shops at Buffalo Bridge.

I would like to see more images of products you would carry in your store. I do have some concerns when it comes to displaying a plethora of lamps and wonder if it might be advantageous for you to introduce another product to add variety is scale and format... I encourage you to give a lot of thought over the weekend to the products you sale and their design implications.
