For his most recent installation, David created an entire pop-up shoppe out of paper from pages of old books. It is pretty surreal to enter West Elm and then see a shoppe inside fabricated out of paper! In the shoppe are beautiful flora, watering cans, and gardening tools, all created out of paper. The pop-up shoppe is open to the public today and tomorrow (see invite below) so if you are in NYC, be sure to check out David's incredible creations. For all of you aspiring event designers and crafters, check out David's new book. You will be so inspired! Below are some pics of the event. The pictures don't do his art justice as they were taken from my blackberry, but you can get the idea.

This is a very beautiful sustainable concept. I love it.
Love David Stark! I did a whole post about him on my blog last year. His work is amazing and the attention to detail is unbelievable - this had to have been an amazing event!
Well I can't go as I'm here in the north of England , but I went to his site and had a fun time . What an amazing conceptual thinker. Loved it !
Absolutely delightful. Love David Stark's work!
Wow. I've never heard of David Stark, so shame shame on me. I must see this shoppe... thank you so much for sharing!
That's an amazing idea! And I would say it's good for the environment too.
Thanks everyone for the kind words, and Amy, I am YOUR fan. The shoppe has been such a huge success that west elm has extended the run through the Sunday. We are busy as elves creating all kinds of new, fun things!
Amy -- so happy you were there to help us celebrate. I adore your blog and just LOVE what you do.
