New York 

Sunglasses super group Luxottica have proved their mettle as market leaders with a spanking new concept store, ILORI, on New York's Spring Street. With the evolution of sunglasses from summer holiday accessory to wardrobe staple, it's extraordinary they haven't previously been granted a luxury retail outlet, separate from that of their prescriptive siblings.

But ILORI more than makes up for it with a gallery approach to displaying their wares. Designed by architect Craig Nealy, the large space has been subdivided by a clever apportioning of piers into more intimate areas, delineated by different styles of frame, with the all-important mirrors never too far out of glance.
