Jeffrey Beers brings his brand of conceptual design to a childrenswear showroom

Article Abstract:

The Little Me/Ralph Lauren showroom at the Little Me Hard Shop, Sam Schwab's high-end childrens' apparel, was designed by Jeffrey Beers. It was a first for Beers, who had until then, confined his design talents to restaurants and residences. The resulting showroom is a series of four meeting spaces differentiated by custom display fixtures. These are curved, a shape inspired by toy train tracks, and at the back of each picture are grids which can hold graphics or photos. The showroom, seen by other garment executives, has won Beers 12 hard shop contracts.

Private residence

Article Abstract:

Fruitful collaboration between design firm Brininstool + Lynch and its woman client resulted in a vacation house that would be in harmony with nature. The client wanted a design that would be contemporary and would connect with her roots in Vermont. Brininstool came up with a house that would leave as little impact as possible on the surroundings near Lake Michigan. The one-story house has a floor area of 2,000 sq. ft. with a three-sided fireplace that opens onto the living room, master bedroom and porch.

BB Dakota Showroom

Article Abstract:

Hut Sachs Studio utilized the aesthetic power of color and generous lighting in the design of BB Dakota Sportswear store in New York City. The architecture features a 'collage wall' made up of dress patterns on tracing paper, a 1,000-square-foot box with a pivoting wall, and mobile tables. The creativity of the exhibit not only enhanced the display of trendy clothes but also provided a cheap and fast alternative to showroom designs.
