An expert shoe repair and refurbishing service will be on hand. Associates will be able to check inventories instantly on state of the art computer terminals located throughout the floor. Customers will even be able to go straight to eight via the 10022-SHOE express elevator.
When those elevator doors open, shoppers will be struck by the expansive, wide-open environment. New York's most prestigious new zip code will feature 50% more selling space, clear sightlines and a truly dazzling centerpiece: a 70-foot-long curving wall of enchanting hand-blown Murano glass bubbles.
At the floor's perimeter, tall, undulating walls will create a flow of brands rather than a row of individual shops. The fluid layout is designed to encourage browsing and ensure flexibility for Saks as collections expand.
The colors of 10022-SHOE will be primarily warm, light neutrals highlighted by gold and silver metallics and jewel toned upholstery. Shoes will be presented on white glass, antique mirror, limestone, white Carrera marble and grey stained wood.
The space will be accented by a unique variety of chandeliers, modern tables from Eero Saarinen and Warren Platner, vintage furniture pieces and curved banquettes of custom designed chairs creating intimate circles of seating.
The 10022-SHOE environment has been designed by Hambrecht Oleson Design Associates, chosen for their inspired interiors and wealth of experience with luxury retail endeavors.
Their recent projects include shops for Madison Square Garden and Colonial Williamsburg, renovations for Saks Fifth Avenue stores in Atlanta, Beverly Hills and Boca Raton, and a new 150,000 square foot Saks Fifth Avenue store in Mexico City, slated to open in November, 2007.
