Yesterday I was lucky to get a sneak preview of one of this year’s downtown holiday pop-ups, Boy’s Fort. The work of Jake France and Richard Rolf, who also have an interior design firm called the Kenton Collective, have created a huge, wonderfully eclectic shop that’s essentially a home store, but geared towards men (women will find plenty to love there too). They collected things according to whimsy, picking up whatever delighted them, resulting in a mix that includes artwork in the thousands down to inexpensive wallets and mugs, plus plenty in between. The store will officially open on the 9th with a mayoral ribbon cutting, but in the meantime, you can take a photo tour over on MOD.
