BLOOMINGDALE'S San Francisco
Five "specialty stores," each level with its own identity, break up the massive 338,000 sq. ft. Shallow departments framed by large-scale black eyebrow mouldings create intimacy, while unobstructed views are maintained via an open floor plan with wide aisles, uninterrupted sightlines, tall ceilings, and a 33-ft. gap around the escalator. Iconic details such as the black and white checkerboard floor strengthen branding. Reflective and high-contrast surfaces and upscale visual merchandising imbue the store with glamour.

OLIVER PEOPLES
Establishing an ethereal quality, the rear wall draws shoppers into the store with its trend-setting eyewear floating in a brightly lit background. Human forms wearing eyeglasses morph from the rear wall into the space. High-gloss paint lightens the fixtures and reflects design elements to make the 1,022-sq.-ft.-store appear larger. The wood floor continues up walls and onto the ceiling, minimizing transitions and providing a contrasting backdrop for intense illumination in the fixtures and translucent ceiling.

According to Ed Cleary, chief operations officer, the company has evolved over the years from its beginnings in Moon’s parents’ garage with neighbors complaining of him running his table saw until 11 p.m. Moon Design is now a national store fixture manufacturer with innovative strategies on how to expand its market. ...

FDM magazine (October 2002)
... Building store fixtures is much more than just putting together physical structures. Most jobs involve a variety of materials, complex electrical connections, and lighting that must come together precisely and at the right time to make it all work.

Bruce Moon, owner and president of Moon inc., says this 21-year-old vista, Calif., business has grown into a thriving company by taking on the nightmares nobody else wants to tackle. Using computers, CNC automation and a competent staff, Moon has built his company's reputation on providing solutions for every kind of job. ...
