VIEW THE EVENT PHOTO GALLERY. // Furniture Sale on North Freeway // wacdesignstudio recently staged “Furniture Sale on North Freeway” a guerrilla retail event that took place on Sunday March 7th 2010 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the abandoned lot of the former Landmark Chevrolet dealership located at 9111 N. Fwy, Houston, TX 77037. In “Furniture Sale on North Freeway” wacdesignstudio launched its first furniture line, a line designed and fabricated with an attention to the modesty of scale, materials and production. Located outside the crumbling remains of the Landmark Chevrolet Dealership, “Furniture Sale on North Freeway” reflected on the unanticipated failures of highly leveraged businesses and their effects on the city landscape. wacdesignstudio intended to create the hopeful gesture of a small design business selling its locally designed and manufactured product to local customers.
