Pottery Barn

I thought this article, although quite long, was actually pretty interesting. I did not know a lot about Pottery Barn before reading this. I think we might have a Pottery Barn store in Keystone Mall somewhere, and I've walked past it, but I've never actually been in. The article makes it sound pretty good. I really like that they also have the five-point test for all of their product. The product has to look good, feel good, be high quality, has to be durable, and the final question: Would you take it home or give it as a present to your best friend." I think those are all really important things to keep in mind when designing the home products that Pottery Barn sells. I also think it is great that they now have PB teen and Pottery Barn kids. I thought it was really interesting to read about how their designers get their inspiration, whether it's by walking through a flea market or looking at polaroids of teenagers' rooms. I also thought it was interesting that they start working on their collections a year in advance, it just shows how much work they have to put into their collections. I definitely think I am going to have to stop by the Pottery Barn store soon, even though I have heard that their prices are pretty high.
