SPECIAL DELIVERY
|
MAY 13TH, 2008SPECIAL DELIVERYIf you've been in mourning since the demise of Caban, time to shed your blacks (okay, you can keep the Costume Nationale) for the birth of a very special new store. Launched by UBC architecture grad Anne Pearson, Vancouver Special is packed with covetable grass green Hee lounge chairs ($225) by Denmark's Hay which are literally flying out (more are arriving next month) as well as Danish sofa beds (from $1,850) in deep fuschias or sophisticated grays that can be yours on the same day. We loved the stylish (and cheap!) gifts section with all the makings of a picnic (Swedish bucket grills by Sagaform, cigar cases, carafe-and-cup sets) and the wide range of vintage-inspired radios to grace the kitchen counter. Whether you've got $6 to spend (on hot pink door hooks) or $600 to spend (on a modern shag carpet), we dare you to leave empty handed. Now that's something special. Vancouver Special, 3612 Main St. (at 20th), Vancouver, 604-568-3673, www.vanspecial.com Got something to add to this dose? Post it on our forum! We'll be giving prizes to our best forum posts every month, so just log-in to win!
