From designer extraordinaire Barrie Benson's commercial projects including Reid's Fine Foods and Capitol to sociologist Jan Whitaker's exhaustive (and lavishly-illustrated!) study, The World of Department Stores, later this week we'll explore some shops. In the meantime, if you haven't seen it yet, Charlotte-based Benson has a new site beautifully created by multi-talented Atlantan John Lineweaver (he's a graphic designer, art director and product developer). BTW, Lineweaver did all the graphics for Reid's too.

Love the site! The red wall on the home page with her gorgeous jewelry just draws you in to the site!

Barbara -- I think Barrie looks amazing against the red too!
I love the Studio Wall on Barrie's site. It adds so much! And BTW, I think the turquoise door photo has quite an interesting composition! ; )
Barbara -- isn't the wall cool? I think it's great too. And you're so sweet to comment on the other doors. Thanks!
My heart literally lept when I saw that first pic. It's gorgeous! I'm tempted to hop a flight down to NC simply to sip a cappuccino in that little booth.
