I recognized it immediately! Walking home in the rain after taking pictures of
Alessi, I couldn't help but notice the colorful windows featuring the work of
Richard Woods! It was only
last week that I posted about his work. I was even more excited when I walked inside to discover that the store is a new
Paul Smith flagship!...
Looking at it up-close, it's most likely a technique based on woodblock relief prints. The colored blocks are painted/printed and the woodgrain pattern is printed on top of the colors. Here's more
about the new store, which also sells some housewares and furniture.

can't wait to stop in now that it's open. I wonder if the lower fifth avenue store will remain open, the store design is do diffferent from this new flagship.
