I wanted to place the leather pieces in a compelling context by creating a series of impressionistic scenes that would capture moments with a contrast of candidness and romantic staging. I found inspiration in early Kodachrome photographs from the 1940s, in which the vibrant color makes the subject matter feel startlingly realistic and yet mysteriously displaced in time. The products are so much about contrast—for example, the washing and distressing of a premium leather—that the shots needed to support that idea: contrived and natural, gritty and lush, old and new.

Due to a crowded marketplace and the sudden commonality of the pop-up shop concept, I knew it was most important that all communications profile what makes the space unique—the building's distinctive look. Its narrow shape and its solar panel facade have made the building a neighborhood landmark. To prospective clients, this means major exposure and a green profile for their projects. I wanted all communications to reference that. I created the logo as a typographic representation of the building through the stacking of type and color. Color became a significant part of the concept. I decided never to use the color green to communicate the environmental consciousness of the building but rather to use yellow and blue. These colors make physical reference to the building and cleverly communicate the "green" element as the combination of yellow and blue. I also coined the term "inventable space" to allude to the concept of a raw space with the capacity to become anything imaginable. http://angelasilva.net/222689/Metropolitan-Green http://angelasilva.net/220892/Hickoree-s-Hard-Goods http://angelasilva.net/220892/Hickoree-s-Hard-Goods Tue, 12 Jan 2010 20:29:09 +0000 angelasilva.net 220892 <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/12668/220892/store_4_1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="445" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/12668/220892/store_1_1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="445" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/12668/220892/store_3_1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="1008" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/12668/220892/store_5_1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="445" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/12668/220892/store_2_1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="445" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/12668/220892/store_7.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="460" align="left" /> Store Design “Hard goods” are defined as products that are not consumed or destroyed in use and can be used for a long period of time. Hickoree’s Hard Goods is a 6-month-old online store that features a one-of-a-kind assortment of such products. I was asked to create a distinctive, pop-up shop to house a world of well-designed objects with a focus on American-made, timeless, and utilitarian pieces. The idea of Hickoree’s as a 21st century general store with a wonderful mash-up of old and new became the theme for the space on all levels. After making a decision to preserve a certain rawness that would suit the Hickoree's aesthetic, I asked that the space remain unfinished to incorporate an industrial theme into the design. I used magnetic bolts in the concrete wall to hold up vintage bandannas, made a center table out of leftover, wooden construction beams and used cinder blocks as bench posts and old piping as a garment rack. Other fixtures such as shelving, the retail counter, and pegboard, purchased from Home Depot and similar retailers, were used to communicate the functional, tough aesthetic of the brand. I also scavenged Ebay and thrift stores for unique pieces to merchandise products. The store was the main feature in the style section of the New York Times both in print and online. http://angelasilva.net/220892/Hickoree-s-Hard-Goods http://angelasilva.net/217727/HAP-Program http://angelasilva.net/217727/HAP-Program Sun, 10 Jan 2010 22:02:32 +0000 angelasilva.net 217727 <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/12668/217727/logos_1_1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="388" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/12668/217727/collaterol_3.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="559" align="left" /> Identity / Design / illustration Identity created for "HAP", Homework Assistance Program, sponsored by the city of Boston. http://angelasilva.net/217727/HAP-Program
