project No 8, NY, NY

The shop at the Ace Hotel in New York. 
From the outside in.

From the inside out.
 
Caters to everything a visitor wants and needs

Like jewelry and wallets,
shampoo, toys and  bags,
pouches, keychains, adaptors,
Everything for children (gifts from mom and dad?)
Something to read.
Art, chairs and umbrella’s. The merchandise in this hotel shop is sort of functional, but above that, they are good-looking and designed. For example; if you forgot your toothbrush you can buy one here, in black. All products are of the “design” kind, very easy on the eye, just like we like it!
