I keep a running list of stores that I want to shop when in New York and a new one has just been added to the list. C. Wonder is opening this weekend in Soho and I can't wait to check it out! The merch looks really fun (and affordable) and the store design looks impeccable. If great design wasn't enough, thoughtful, innovative touches like customizable dressing rooms and a mobile checkout system (like the Apple store) will surely make the shopping experience pretty darned awesome.
Kevin Sharkey's comprehensive sneak peek of the store was where I saw photos of the interior. Based on those, I'm pretty sure that I could live in the C. Wonder world. The design scheme is really fresh and hip, but there are plenty of classic elements that keep it looking high-end and tasteful. The bathroom stopped me dead in my tracks...I'm lovin' the tile design, the Audubon prints, and the Dorothy Draper-esque accents:

Looks pretty cool, huh? From a design standpoint, I love the white lacquer mixed with bold colors and brass accents. It's polished, but fun. There are more photos Kevin Sharkey's blog on MarthaStewart.com, so take a look at those if you want more! I'm really looking forward to seeing it all in person...now I just need to get a trip planned.
Hey Kyle,
ReplyDeleteI love all of the sources and inspiration photos that you share with us but I have a major request....Can you PLEASE share more about your own home??!!!!! I know we have seen house tours and even a lamp tour but would love for you to do room by room sharing like a source list, what inspired the decor in each room, etc... PLEASE!!!! Thanks!!!! Love your style!
Oh my gosh, love those place settings. Those tea and coffee cups are to die for!
ReplyDeleteDo you think that they will eventually offer their items online?
ReplyDeleteI don't care how classy a bathroom is decorated, seeing a toilet with the lid up makes me want to vomit. Why don't people close the darn things? It's not a water feature! It's a place to poop and pee and should be covered.
ReplyDeleteMolly - I agree so I just recropped the image to cut out most of the toilet :)
ReplyDeleteMUST visit that shop when in NYC in 2 months! Thanks for the great tip! X
ReplyDeleteWow - I would LOVE to shop there. I loved many of the products (including the dog collars :)) and that bathroom? The tile, the audobon prints - even the paper towels are gorgeous! It's on my NYC list now too...especially if I can customize my music....I guess that means they have clothes too? Off to see more from the MS article - thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteSo bummed I will have missed this opening by a couple of weeks :( I am in love with those cute little silver alarm clocks! I think being able to change the lighting in your change room should be compulsory in all stores!
ReplyDeleteI'm spending the day in Soho with a friend today, and so glad to know about this shop. Thanks Kyle!
ReplyDeleteI just love the black and white tiles. This provides me some idea for decorating my black and white room.
ReplyDeletelove your blog and your style! when i saw your post last week, i kind of freaked out and was second in line when the store opened on sat. it was a-mazing! i live in ny, but would tell anyone that this store is completely worth a trip to ny! thanks again for the tip.
