FENDI BAGUETTE BAG ANNIVERSARY | FENDI POP-UP
New York, New York
situation
“It’s not a bag, it’s a Baguette,” quipped Sarah Jessica Parker in “Sex in the City,”—forever immortalizing it as a fashion staple. Conceived by Silvia Venturini Fendi, the prominent fashion clutch is commemorating its 25th anniversary and is the feature for the Fendi winter 2022 capsule.
To celebrate, Fendi unveiled a New York pop-up boutique, situated at 90 Prince St. in the heart of SoHo. This 1,850 square-foot space was transformed to showcase the Fendi Baguette collection. Teaming with agency Innercity (IC-YA), Britten WoodWorks would craft the essential elements to transform a vacant storefront into a playful pop-up befitting the Fendi brand.
The principal feature would be oversized reproductions of the Baguette itself, fitted for product merchandising display. True to Britten’s capabilities, creating this larger-than-life design adds amusing dimension to the space.
solution
Using formed plywood as the core interior and Brittens's Foam3D™ elements to construct the compound curves and edges, Britten WoodWorks crafted outsized replicants of the iconic handbag—detailed down to the flap, clasp, and signature sleek edges.
Spanning 10’ high and 12’ wide and equipped with floating shelves and ready-to-wear racks, each Baguette was integrated with 3000K LED lighting to house and highlight the collection’s pieces.
Configured in three sets of match pairs, two in jewel-tone green, two in light pink, and two in Tiffany blue, each were color-matched to the exacting hues of the rest of the Fendi interior.
impact
By entrusting Britten WoodWorks, Fendi conveyed its aspirations for a phenomenal pop-up and its brand perception. The finished detailed interior cemented Britten WoodWorks as a complete idea-to-install fabricator and capable partner to shoulder the weighty brand presence of Fendi.
The results demonstrate Britten WoodWorks' ability to produce refined finish details that match highly stylized brand expectations with the technical demands of retail merchandising. From concept to installation in just four weeks, expediate skilled work is another benefit of partnering with Britten, Inc.

This is a lone tree standing in a recently cleared lot of land behind my house. I used to live in a heavily wooded area. Now it's nothing but small, closely-spaced houses. I enjoy this photo because it seems to convey the sadness of a diminishing feature that had played such a large part in my young life.

In the spring of 2011, the U.S. Mission joined Geneva's Garden Charter and tilled one third of the grounds to be planted with a special mixture of indigenous species prepared by the Canton of Geneva's conservation office (The seed mix is called Prairie Fleurie / Melange de Geneve). The result exceeded our expectations. By mid-summer, our gardens were bursting with life and color much to the delight of U.S. Mission staff! The new gardens are easier to care for, better for biodiversity, and require less water.

A very simple basic play gym, using one toy in a time. Close enough for our son to grasp it. Actually, this is the very first time he managed to touch the frog, which surprisingly he learned to love so much. About 2 weeks later, when he became pretty good in deliberately touching this frog, I changed it for a ring (3" diameter), hang on the elastic, so that my son could learn to grasp it and pull it to his mouth.

Papaver croceum is a native of southern Siberia, Central Asia, and northern China. It can be found in pasture, meadows, rocky slopes and landfill areas. This plant is cultivated and used as a garden plant and is hence an invasive species in this arctic environment.

Created by 6th grade students at Central Middle School in Hartford, Wisconsin
Title: Respect the Environment
Homeroom: Mrs. Laatsch
Number of students: 19
Grade: 6th
Teacher and organizer: Pamela Brandt
Dream Theme: Respect and Responsibility / Community
Materials & techniques used: Oil pastel, paint, permanent marker
Did your group enjoy working on this project? This was a very nice way to combine art projects with the themes for our school this year.
Participants: There are 28 different works of art. Each one was created by a homeroom of 16 - 24 students. I have taken photos of the work as well as each homeroom with their work. I also had them answer the questions explaining their piece and will be sending that along with each piece.
What is your art about? The artwork is about the importance of respecting the environment by reusing, renewing, and recycling.
Our school's theme this year is respect and responsibility. Each trimester we focus on how students can show this through self, others and the environment. Each grade was given a different component of this - 6th grade - environment, 7th grade - self, and 8th grade - others. I will be sending along a handout that was given to each homeroom to use in completing this project.

How can I make a difference?
In 2008, a group of educators and artists formed the International Fiber Collaborative (IFC) a non-profit organization with a mission to create deeper learning experiences through art, collaboration, and cross-curricular programming for individuals and their communities.
IFC’s current initiative, The Dream Rocket Project, started in 2009 has exhibited submissions in over 105 venues; in 2014 submissions will be connected side by side to wrap a 363’ Saturn V Moon Rocket replica at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL (48’ taller than the Statue of Liberty).
With every artwork received a student has had to ask; what is my dream for my future, and the future of my community and our world? How can students across our nation with many skills collaborate to make a difference? How can creativity and other subjects such as space, technology, science, and leadership inspire innovation? How can I make a difference?
