Wolf Camera Vision, the largest photography retailer in the U.S., chose Greenwood Design Group (Atlanta) to spruce up its New York flagship. The result: A bright space with undulating curves that break up the store's long, narrow footpath. The fixtures, ceiling elements, countertops and flooring repeat a rippling motion, simulating the integrity of film. Multiple materials add depth and texture to the space, including wood, stained aluminum and metals. And digital LED lights by Color Kinetics (Boston) are programmed to change color at 90-second intervals, highlighting back walls and creating yet another level of action.
