January 19, 2010
by sbx_rnis
This winter, the Starbucks design team unveiled a new store in the hip and fashionable district of Mayfair, the heart of London. This new design not only embeds the character of the neighborhood into the store, but also elevates the look-and-feel of the traditional coffeehouse. There are many interesting features to this new store- it showcases our heritage logo, and features a large industrial community table found at an antique store in Belgium. There is artwork made from reused tea boxes once used to store legal papers in the Northwest of England. The designers also used reclaimed Welsh rift cut wood and repurposed Italian shoe/automobile leather. The store in London is an exciting international … more »
