NEW STORES IN USA 2

This new overview of developments in American retail design features twenty-six stores of varying kinds and sizes created either in the United States or designed by American architects in major cities worldwide. The new interiors selected offer a close-up on ongoing trends in store design, which reveals the emergence of the concept of the boutique as a contained art gallery of sorts, in which the concepts of "exhibition" and "sale" merge through the intimate synergy in the design and composition.
