SAY "CHEESE!"
I
T IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT to say that Americans
like cheese. According to the International Dairy
Foods Association, U.S. cheese consumption hit a
record 33.7 pounds per capita in 2013. As big-name
grocers continue to expand their specialty cheese
sections, independent cheese shops supplement the
demand as well.
French Cheese Board, a new concept cheese shop
by France's dairy commission, opened this past
May in New York's SoHo neighborhood. (The first
iteration was a pop-up shop in midtown Manhattan back in 2014.) Realized by French graphic design
duo Ich&Kar-Helena Ichbiah and Piotr Karczewski-
the 861-sq.-ft. shop is a turophile and Francophile's
dream, featuring more than 1,200 types of French
cheese for sampling and purchase in a contemporary yet cozy atmosphere.
Aficionados and newbies alike will relish the diverse cheese offerings along
with an assortment of accessories and a thorough education of French cheeses.
A sophisticated palette of black and white serves as an elegant backdrop for black
and oak fixtures. Ichbiah says the concept was challenging because of the educational aspect of the space and since it was Ich&Kar's first interior design project.

"The space can serve many purposes: it's simultaneously a cheese shop and concept store, with
gourmet cheeses, design and tableware pieces,"
Ichbiah explains. "The space is also a showcase
for art and design exhibitions, as well as cheese
master classes. The challenge was to keep all the
functions very fluid, and finally design a userfriendly toolbox."
A magnetic wall, created by Mendon, Mass.-based
Visual Magnetics, features a large map of France with
its regions' various cheeses, since geography is an important part of understanding French cheese.
Toward the back of the store, Ich&Kar created a
cheese art gallery wall and a cheese production mural with whimsical illustrations of how cheese is
made from start to finish. A wall of cow breeds and their cheeses-as well as
a wall of how to slice different varieties-round out the informational graphics
in the store.
"The main idea here is to share French cheese culture," Ichbiah says. "We
designed graphic murals as learning tools, creating décor that is meaningful
and fun."
