commercial case study: retail
kate's paperie, west 57th street, nyc
It was logical to suggest a finish that incorporated paper for Kate's Paperie. The upscale stationery, paper and gift store requested a unique finish for their newest location and largest store to date.
The finish was slated for the entrance wall, part of the display window's background, and two accent areas within the store. The final treatment, created using sheets of giftwrap tissue that were glazed in three colors, suggested the organic origins of paper and served as a link to the many handmade papers and products carried by Kate's.
