IT WAS A PERFECT MESS.

Complete with product-lined shelves, neon signage, a branded refrigerator and a “security” camera-feed looping the brand’s content, the display and the shoplifting “Knuckle Heads” inside of it stopped traffic with quirky, unexpected details in every corner. Topping the scene off with a stuffed bodega cat, spilled chips and a tossed rubber chicken, we took every measure to make this déppaneur truly come to life.
