Hi guys. I came across a magazine blurb recently that showed a new jewelry store--tiny, maybe only 500sf--that was quoted as "turning its back on the street." It had all the jewelry socketed into lit niches in the two side walls, so that when you looked in from the street you just saw glowing white walls on the sides and a clean counter in the middle of the shop. Then when you get inside, you see the jewelry reveal itself niche by niche as you turn to look deep into the side walls.
It was gorgeous and I wanted to show it to a friend, but I can't for the life of me figure out where I came across it. It might even have been on this website, but I've searched like crazy and my googling skills are failing me.
Please help--anyone know this little project? I believe it is a recent work.
help w/ ID : jewelry store that "turns its back on the street"?
