Retail Environments - January/February 2013

7 JUXTAPOSITION abounded in groupings that combined warm wood with cold metal, sharp angles with soft curves, or vintage appeal with futuristic edge. Organic flow met streamlined sleekness in vignettes pairing nature with synthetics, and Lifestyle/Trimco celebrated both kitsch and sophisticated form with its Day at the Beach theme.
