The project owner and his partner wanted to upgrade their retail establishment with a more custom look and one that better displayed their merchandise. The result was that of custom cabinetry and a display area done solely out of solid cherry wood. The centerpiece of the store was a light fixture the owner and I selected while on a trip to New York City. The project won a Gold Award from the Institute of Business Designers (IBD) in the category of Shops, Stores, and Showrooms.
