Taking an upscale yet minimalist approach to eyewear, Lenscrafter's new 1,237-square-foot prototype houses frames, lenses and optometric services for fashion-conscious customers. In a pale-neutral colored interior of marble flooring, rich wood custom fixtures, accented by brushed metal framework, offer a contrast. Oval inserts into wall cases present featured products on glass shelves. Graphics, including backlit metal signage, copper-colored case signage, fashion photography, packaging and labels, continue the minimalist approach to design.
