DAP 360: It's a Wonder

This week's Dec-a-Porter 360* look deeper at Chris Burch's newest endeavor. The venture capitalist, entrepreneur and ex-husband of designer Tory Burch, opened a new lifestyle/retail concept store in the heart of Soho, to great reviews.

C. Wonder -- the “C” stands for “charming, cheerful and chic” providing preppy Burch-esque colored fashion statement pieces for under $200!

Great Lighting effects and Bizazza tiles boldly highlight the counter

Once again though I can't help but feel inspired by the amazing design details that leave me feeling like a child in a candy store. High gloss lacquer, bluegrass cloth, lucite, dhurries, zig-zags and more ... these are some of the details that I had to share and can't wait to find ways to bring into my new design schemes.







Besides the jewelry and Vespa-like scooters there are plenty of fabulous home accessories to choose from at very reasonable prices. 








of course I already brought one to a client's home! We couldn't resist these Foo Dogs for a quick pop of color.

So I leave you with these last few images of the chandeliers in this new Soho store. I love the creative use of fabric, metal and lacquered wood canopies which personalize these otherwise simple light fixtures.






Design is absolutely in the Details!


C. Wonder is now open at 72 Spring St., NYC, www.cwonder.com
