Design for Shopping New Retail Interiors

"From the giant, breathing mannequins of Mandarina Duck in London to the high-tech dressing rooms of Prada in Los Angeles, Design for Shopping provides a detailed, behind-the-scenes exploration into the sometimes jaw-dropping, sometimes whimsical, and always breathtakingly creative ways that today's most exceptional shops appeal to the customer's imagination." "Accompanied by architects' floor plans and vivid color photographs, Design for Shopping showcases a comprehensive selection of recent retail interiors from around the world. Following an insightful introduction which examines the historical and sociological variables in current shopping culture, the book is divided into seven chapters. Fascinating case studies illustrate each of these themes, with thirty-five stores discussed in total."--BOOK JACKET.Manuelli, Sara is the author of 'Design for Shopping New Retail Interiors' with ISBN 9780789208989 and ISBN 0789208989.
