smart shopping.

remember that visit to Savannah earlier this summer? well, while there, i discovered the joys of shopSCAD...Savannah College of Art and Design's ah-mazing retail outpost. 
providing students and grads with a platform to sell their custom, often handmade, works, shopSCAD boasts genius on many levels. it lends financial support to the college and its students as well as advertising the genius of the school and those who attend it.

the gift store slash art gallery slash furniture boutique also promotes pushing the boundaries of typical southern designs. local customers are exposed to works that hint at vernacular culture while simultaneously incorporating global, modern influences.
