On new excuses to travel ~ my latest is to go to Europe via Frankfurt airport, because they just got the largest Porsche Design airport store.
This is the latest addition to their rapidly expanding line of
airport franchises currently in airports such as Munich, Vienna,
London, Moscow, Dubai and Hong Kong. In 2008, new stores are to be
opened in Zurich, Copenhagen and Manchester. These are in addition to
their retail stores which are currently in Hamburg, Tokyo, Berlin,
London, and New York. It’s been fascinating to see how airports have
quickly been evolving into high end malls of sorts, and how can we
resist jetsetting to shop the airports as well as the cities? So next
time you’re in FRA - look for the new Porsche Design Store, “the 145
square meter store is on the second level of Hall B, on the so-called
“landing side” of the airport, the area that is generally accessible
without security checks.”
