Miami Shopping: Base AnnexDecember 13, 2007 | 10:01AM
By Diana McClure: Miami Beach’s Base Annex on Lincoln Road (a popular stretch of shops and outdoor eats) offers a delectable experience in the art of shopping. Tucked off in a corner down a small walkway, the store’s Alice in Wonderland ambience is felt as soon as you step across its threshold. Items from furniture, pillows and jewelry to clothes, lamps and bags are presented in small color themed rooms. Curated by the stores owner Steven Giles, every room offers a full bodied experience of seating, lighting and accessories built around a shared color, red, green, black, you name it.
Each item within the rooms has an elegant handmade artsy feel that inspires shoppers to purchase it, and artists to go home and make it. Imagine painting your grandmother’s antique Louis XVI chair lavender, reupholstering it with silk purple and gold Indian Sari fabric, placing your favorite purple fuzzy slippers underneath it and sipping mint tea from your periwinkle tea glass bought in Morocco – you get the idea.
