Pottery Barn Kids

Orange County, CA

Published

on

Since introducing the Pottery Barn Kids catalog in 1999, Williams-Sonoma (San Francisco) has extended its children's concept to bricks-and-mortar, creating an interior decorating store for both parents and children to enjoy.

While the new store feels like a bright, cheerful extension of Pottery Barn, it was made childproof by designers from Richyworks (Los Angeles), Williams-Sonoma and BCV Architects (Alameda, Calif.). The painted Siberian hard pine flooring and light-colored, washable surfaces make the store easy to maintain. A focused product presentation, including bedroom vignettes ranging from the latest products (at the entrance) to Pottery Barn Baby (at the rear), make for a simple, clean design.
