Nevertheless, fashion seems to hold its own: In his Calvin Klein store in New York City, Minimalist architect John Pawson created a hushed, monumentally Modern citadel for sculpturally austere garments where both contents and surroundings meet in perfect accord.

How can an intangible process supersede or visually insinuate itself into the slick glamour of an industrial design object? The diffusion of the custom-fitting process compounds this design problem; it occurs in a series of small episodes that are not immediately legible as having anything to do with skiing or footwear. In order to fit a boot, Surefoot uses a digital scanner to create a topographic map of the customer's foot. This map is sent to a computer-controlled mill that fabricates an orthotic insert. The process is completed by injecting rapid-hardening foam into the liner of a boot while the customer stands on a canted platform designed to simulate the position and resultant stresses of the foot and ankle against the ski boot while skiing. Uninitiated customers need a spatial system to guide them through the custom fitting process. This process is unavoidably scattered through the store but also part of a coherent whole and a recognizable brand.....more <a href="http://www.theladg.com/SFNY%20Information01.html">here</a>

She got it in the ribbon-like interior designed by architect Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance of Néonata, whose white Corian envelope was the first object of the collection and lends homogeneity to widely varying pieces. <br /><br />'I have designed an object which enlarges the perspectives of the space, creates different atmospheres in a unique body and adds rhythm and movement to the gallery,' he explains. With this single gesture, visible from the kerb, the BSL's sculptural shell declares Saint-Laurent's intention to make grand statements.<br />More of the interior <a href="http://www.wallpaper.com/interiors/galerie-bsl-opens-in-paris/4534"><i><b>here </b></i></a>

It's not about buying jewelry ... on one hand access to a ceremony: the ritual of finding a little treasure unknown (there are resonances plays, some treatments of the dome reminiscent of the dark curtains, lighting and set designer ). <br />Geometry: the box is formed by twin opposing two extruded sections, the upper dark, matte, light and vibrant interior and silver, shiny, heavy and rigid. <br /><br />The dark is generated by an asymmetric inverted U, which generates a way to vault a section extruded, thus forming the roof and sides (asymmetric): presents a reading of drapery-curtain mysteriously folded. <br /><br />The other dihedral forms- the floor and furniture behind the counter lateral central, forming an L lying, is generated as a folded surface wear, bright and deep.<br />More at <a href="http://www.arquitour.com/joyeria-d-vaillo-irigaray/2009/07/#more-6778"><i><b>arquitour </b></i></a>
