Today we are going to go on a journey of design all while shopping and eating at the same time. We are going to look at great designs, all while enjoying a nice day out. Well, I mean if we had our own private jet that could take us from country to country. All the while, it's nice to dream. Our first stop, Europe.
Okihana; Europes first anti-aging and health concept store. Now I am a little young to be considering going in here, but why not take preventive measures right? I mean look at it, how could you not? Everything that the anti-aging process is, is in this store. The branches, symbolizing how rough the aging process is, the whiteness gives the store a Dr.s room sterile kind of feeling. I'm feeling a little cold in here so lets go to our next destination. Jet please!
Ms. B.'s Sweets, Tokyo, Japan. I was feeling a little hungry and saw this window. Ms. B.s Sweets is far from your average Japanese design. It speaks traditional, it speaks feminine, soft and beauty. The chandelier alone speaks mountain, which was originally designed for the British Embassy in Rome in the 1950s. Whoooaaa, all this sugar, I need something to drink, preferably something strong to keep me awake for the rest of our jet-setting.
Milan, Marc by Marc Jacobs.....A coffee shop with a twisted wonderful play of lighting. I mean why wouldn't the lighting be the main focus here? Synonymous with fashion the appropriate light setting makes the fashion that much more appealing. Marc, now you make me want to shop.
Back to Tokyo, an uber-chic Tokyo flagship store, Marni. With plays on geometric shapes and a large combination of textures this store was thoughtfully designed to wow and keep clientele coming in.
Still in Tokyo, The Romanticism Womens Clothing Store features a unique honeycomb structure that makes you wonder what kind of store it is. It keeps your eye drawn upward and with minimal display makes you enter without knowing it. This has been a really long day so now I need to lie down.
This hostel in Bangkok is sure to provide some affluent accommodations, with every room painted a different color and different design you are sure to have a conversation starter while flying solo or more.
Every store has some sort of design to it, whether it be your favorite coffee shop, clothing store, or what not it is meant for you. If you keep going back there then you are exactly the kind of clientele they had in mind when they designed it. See what you like, see what your favorites are, this could tell a lot about your personality, if you take notice. Have a great Hump Day everyone.
