Kate’s flagship Spring Street store is the first location to be redesigned; the other four stores will unveil this new look in 2009. The store’s new look began with window installations by sculptural artist Zoe Bradley. Bradley largest U.S. installation to date, “Hanging Japanese Gardens,” made of Yuzen papers. Berrie plans to regularly commission artists to use Kate’s Paperie’s store windows as canvases.

Kate’s Paperie, in partnership with the Angelica Berrie Foundation, is also a sponsor of the 2009 exhibit SLASH— Paper Under the Knife at the Museum of Art and Design.

The last time I visited the store, I was able to talk personally to Ms. Katie. I told her my appreciation of her store. Given the chance to visit America again, I would like to pay a visit and how the store looks like. Did Ms. kati passed away? Lilit
