Tommy Bahama has launched a new store in New York City on
Fifth Avenue and 45th street. Its exquisite charm and design is what
will bring in the customers, lured in by an oasis in the middle of the busy
streets of Manhattan. Customers are able to experience 13,000 square feet of
paradise, with every aspect of design carefully selected and placed.
Consisting of 3 levels, each corner, light fixture, and
ceiling fan is designed to imitate an ocean-side setting. The decorations
consist of Floridian palm trees, driftwood, and seashell sculptures. There is
tropical music playing, and there are light fans blowing an ocean breeze over
customers. The limestone floors complete the marine feeling all the way around.
Adrienne Parks, the visual manager for the store says, “We
want to create an experience that customers will remember and tell their
friends about”. This seems like it will definitely be the case, as the store is
complete with not only shopping areas and dressing rooms, but a stunningly
beautiful bar.
It is called the Marlin Bar and is made of oak wine barrels.
In fact, every decoration and fixture in the store is either custom made or a
“found” object. If it was found, there is a tag attached to it giving a short
history of where the item came from.
To say the least, the design and arrangement of the store is
absolutely dazzling. Each of the three stories is a piece of expertly arranged
art. For more information visit www.tommybahama.com.
