<p>This is a transitional shop in <em><strong><a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/category/countries/italy/">Milan</a></strong></em>, Italy designed by Caterina Tiazzoldi for the <em><strong>coffee brand Illy</strong></em>. The concept is conceived for a reconfigurable store, characterized by various modulations of a single element, a &#8220;cube&#8221; which is 45x45cm-squared base. Using a parametric device, it becomes manageable to manipulate the cube physical properties by editing depth, thickness, opacity, length besides explosions. The combinatory logic – inspired by genetic algorithms process – permits to perform through 3000 configurations of the same object.<span id="more-48544"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-48553" title="illy_store" src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/illy_061211_01.jpg" alt="" width="548" height="307" /></p>
<p>The shop is created by 200 cubes and specifically designed to adapt to numerous dimensional composition of Illy Cafe products. The same unit is used for the table, desk counter, storage, lighting system, video frames, communication, and recycling bins. By reconfiguring the different modules according to the performances required, (accessibility of the wares from the outside, number of item to display, level of transparency desired, energy size) it becomes feasible to represent different characteristics of the Illy products, while the conclusion also allows fitting it into at odds locations.<br />
The system engender from the walls also the ceiling, creating a disoriented expansion. The differentiated space dimensions appears to metamorphose one, transforming it into a game where user&#8217;s noticing shifts from an object to another discovering the inside.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">On Barbie&#8217;s fiftieth birthday, Mattel &#8211; the world&#8217;s largest toymaker, opened the  first store dedicated to the iconic doll in the world, in <em><strong>Shanghai, <a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/category/countries/china/">China</a></strong></em>. 3,300 m2 mega-Barbie store holds the world&#8217;s largest and most comprehensive collection of Barbie dolls and licensed Barbie products. Standing six stories tall, it glows neon pink and cost around 20 million pounds to build. Slade Architecture led the design including the exterior, interior, fixtures, and furnishings. <span id="more-47445"></span></p>
<p><center><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-47451" title="barbie-stair" src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/closebarbiestairwell.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="365" /></center><br />
The staircase and the dolls are the core of the store. This is a three-story spiral staircase that encloses more than eight hundred Barbie dolls. It links the three retail floors: the women’s floor, the doll floor and the Barbie Design Center, where girls design their own Barbie is on this floor.  Opened in 2009, this flagship contains a day spa, cafe, hair salon, design studio, a $15,000 Vera Wang wedding dress sale, fashion stage and thousands and thousands of new and vintage Barbies. Barbie Shanghai was the first Mattel Barbie flagship store in the world. It ceased activities in March 2011.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/2011/12/11/virtual-shopping/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-47426" title="tesco-subway-store" src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/tescosubwaystore02.jpg" alt="" width="583" height="193" /></a></p>
<p>South Korea is one of the hardest working country in the world and now people there can shop for groceries at virtual stores while they wait for the subway train. The United Kingdom based grocery chain – Tesco has opened virtual stores in<em><strong> <a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/index.php?s=seoul">Seoul</a>&#8216;s</strong></em> subway station under the name Homeplus, permitting users to shop using their smart phones while waiting for their trains.<span id="more-47411"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-47427" title="Tesco-Subway-Virtual-Store" src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Tesco-Homeplus-Subway-Virtual-Store-in-South-Korea-3.jpg" alt="" width="583" height="298" /><br />
It works like this: customers download the free Homeplus app onto their smart phone. Then they open an account with their home address and method of payment. Once the customer pays for the items, he or she can request a time for their groceries to be delivered right to their doorstep. In these Seoul subway stations, large LED screens advertising everything. Designed to look like a series of supermarket shelves, they display images and prices of a range of all kinds of products – fresh fruits and vegetables, milk, juice, etc. designed to look exactly like a real market.  Every item depicted on those virtual shelves has a QR code next to it. If a customer sees an item they want they simply snap a photo of the QR code. And the groceries are delivered to their home. This innovative concept was developed with very busy people in mind or people who loathe the chore of grocery shopping when all they want to do is relax at home.

<p>Established in 1992, the bookstore El Pendulo in Mexico City, <em><strong><a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/category/countries/mexico/">Mexico</a></strong></em> is at once bar, cafe and bookstore. This urban spot is bright, spacious, huge, gloriously plant-filled and air conditioning, which makes it a wonderful literary escape on a hot Mexican day. In Spanish, El Pendulo is referred to as a &#8220;cafebreria&#8221;, a portmanteau word combining cafe and bookshop. El Pendulo has long been known as one of the best ways to beat the heat in the largest city in the world. <span id="more-47366"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-47368" title="el-pendulo_mexico" src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/cafebreria-el-pendulo_pxl_db89a496b277f45ecbd71331f32ed698.jpeg" alt="" width="588" height="386" /></p>
<p>Housing a cafe, art gallery, a small discussion area and even a room for screening art films, it is as popular for its excellent cafe as it is for its books. Although it only has a small English language section, its open architecture populated with several trees makes for an excellent afternoon&#8217;s escape. This is a great spot for casual meet up with friends for coffee, breakfast or lunch. It has a small venue where live music is played from 7:30p to 11:30p. Basically, a pleasant place to come and have a slice of cake and a cup of cappucino, while music plays in the background. It has the added advantage of offering valet parking.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/2011/12/11/inside-shakespeare-co-antiquarian-bookstore/"><center><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-47360" title="shakespeare-paris" src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/shakespeare-paris-2.jpg" alt="" width="575" height="430" /></center></a></p>
<p>Located just across the road from Notre Dame in <em><strong><a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/index.php?s=paris">Paris</a></strong></em>&#8216; left-bank, <em><strong>Shakespeare &amp; Co</strong></em> is a unique antiquarian bookstore considered as one of the best English bookshops in the world. It is one of very few bookstores, which has gained a widely respected legendary status. It attracts both published and aspiring writers, as well as the general reading public. With piled books and floor to ceiling shelves in small rooms and twisting hallways, Shakespeare &amp; Co is probably the most photographed bookstore of the world.<span id="more-47359"></span><br />
<center><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-47362" title="Shakespeare-nook" src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Shakespeare-nook.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></center></p>
<p>Shakespeare and Company is a quirky independent bookstore, which specializes in English-language literature. This is where Julie Delpy&#8217;s character reunited with Ethan Hawke&#8217;s during a book signing. It serves as both a bookstore and reading library. The emblematic Shakespeare &amp; Company is always packed with tourist book-lovers. When you step through the store’s doorway you’ll sense that this is the sort of quaint, quirky place that should be in cinema and literature.</p>
<p><center><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-47363" title="shakespeare-and-co" src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/inside-shakespeare-and-co.jpg" alt="" width="588" height="392" /></center><br />
Visitors are welcome to browse the books and sit in the shop all day. There is a large second-hand section, antiquarian books next door, and just about anything you could ask for new. The Shakespeare and Company bookshop in Paris remains a time warp that works. As well as storing the histories and works of firmly established writers of the past, Shakespeare and Co. hosts events to inspire and develop new writers, artists and musicians.</p>
