Stranger and Co.
A Minimalist Canvas for Meaningful Retail
Stranger & Co. is a one-of-a-kind retail destination nestled in the vibrant 50th & France shopping district, adjacent to the Nolan Mains luxury multi-family development. The shop’s interior was designed to be intentionally minimal—offering a clean, modern backdrop that lets the carefully curated products take center stage. The result is a space that feels both refined and welcoming, echoing the brand’s dedication to design with purpose.
This small, woman-owned shop champions independent artists and makers—particularly those who are women, people of color, LGBTQ+, and immigrants. The interior reflects this ethos of inclusivity and visibility, allowing each product to stand out through its craftsmanship and cultural resonance. The store features a tactile, material-rich palette that highlights the diverse textures of the goods: glass, wood, metal, and captivating textiles. Every item in the space is presented with intention, telling a story and celebrating both beauty and meaning. The simplicity of the architecture amplifies the richness of what’s inside, offering customers an approachable yet elevated experience.
