Alice and Wonder
The interior design for Alice and Wonder's second location is designed with their clientele in mind - feminine and fun. Soft forms throughout the space are created using archways, curved copper and chunky tambour. The custom designed retail merchandise displays add to the soft forms and interesting textures throughout the space. We created a space that fits their brand and is fun to step into!
Hear Us Out: The Art of Retail Designs
A Second Act on Southport
The thread that unites every project we work on is a one-of-a-kind design crafted for each individual client. Driven by our belief that every endeavor is a chance to invent, inspire, and innovate, this Bristol Financial Firm empowers all employees to achieve their goals with confidence and vision.
When Alice & Wonder set out to open a second Chicago location, the goal wasn’t to duplicate what already worked in Lincoln Park - it was to evolve it. Southport’s walkable, community-driven character called for a space that could attract a more youthful clientele while staying true to the brand’s bright, happy vibe. Our team leaned into soft, sculptural forms - archways, curved copper details, and chunky tambour - to give the interior a playful, tactile quality that invites customers to explore. Every merchandise display was custom designed to reinforce the brand’s personality, turning the shop itself into an extension of the product. The result is a retail experience that feels distinctly Alice & Wonder from the moment you step through the door.
Expanding into a new neighborhood is more than a change of address - it’s an opportunity to reach a different audience without listing what makes a brand recognizable. Retail interior designers help boutiques and shops translate their identity into a new space, adopting the design to reflect the local community while maintaining brand consistency across locations. Custom fixtures, curated material palettes, and intentional layouts all work together to create an in-store experience that builds loyalty and keeps customers coming back. In an era where online shopping is always an option, the physical space has to give people a reason to visit.
