As any dedicated shopper will tell you, a well-designed shop is not merely a commercial establishment, but a leisure experience to be savored at length. But the standards are constantly rising, as retail designers endeavor to create ever more adventurous spaces that will entice even the most jaded consumer. Shops are becoming mini-universes which shoppers can wonder at, be inspired by—and, of course, make their favorite shopping destinations. This comprehensively illustrated book chronicles the hottest retailing trends at the forefront of shop design.
