A few years back, my senior year in college, I was walking by the storefront of the Birmingham, MI Anthropologie, obviously a store I adore. There was a poster advertising an opening for a window design intern. It really peaked my interest but at the time I was not able to even apply, seeing as I was in school and two hours away. BUT, that has always stuck in my head. I love display design and Anthropologie takes it to a whole other level. They employ artists and dreamers to come up with the most gorgeous, clever and creative designs. The latest being a handmade flower theme that I am just so nuts about- plus, Anthropologie FINALLY created a category on their Pinterest account titled "Store Windows" and needless to say, I'm a little obsessed, I mean look at this...
They are using an herbal tea to die the paper!
I can't wait to see what else this pinterest page has in store (no pun intended).
And I secretly wish I took that internship and was
doing this for a living right now.

Awesome, and you're not helping with my compulsive need to buy apartment stuff right now. Anthropologie is the BEST for shabby chic home goods. I'm gay.
ReplyDeleteMaria- that is INSANE! Shit and now I'm 2 hrs. away from GR, what a bummer. Wouldn't that be the most fun internship ever?!
ReplyDeleteBob- I know I LOVE Anthro's home good section. I find it funny we each bought the same butter dish from there in different colors without knowing the other had also purchased the butter dish. We are meant to co-habitate.
Great post Iz. Love it when people can highlight thoughtful, gorgeous design that's deployed really effectively for a purpose.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brad. I agree- great design needs to be highlighted and celebrated!
