Everything is made in-house in Brazil, with very limited quantities of each style shipped to their 550 stores in 18 countries.

The outdoor patio has cane ceiling sections, potted plants and subtropical greenery for a relaxing feeling. The main dining room has clean lines and an edge of warmth provided by a half dozen types of wood and marbles. Many of the dishes on the menu come from Barcelona, that seaside city known for its Antonio Gaudí architecture, historic Barrio Gótico neighborhood and the hundreds of tapas bars that lend inspiration to Klima’s appetizers. Appetizers include fennel-in- fused beef carpaccio, ham croquets, a plate of Spanish sausages or oys- ters with a ceviche sauce. The main menu was recently revamped by Executive Chef Ilde Ferrer, who is now using plankton, a sort of spice of the sea, to cook some of the seafood and lend more flavor to it. The fish dishes include bacalao, hamachi, branzino and local red snapper. The meats—such as lamb shanks, oxtail and pork ribs—are cooked in a Josper oven, a char- coal-filled oven from Spain designed to grill meats evenly. For a touch of Italy, there is short-rib cannelloni served with a port-wine sauce, cheese ravioli with black truffle cream sauce, and fettuccine with fresh morels and cream.

Housed in the historic Sears Roebuck distribution center—orig- inally built in 1926—the Frye Co- pany’s 4,000-square-foot store is on the center’s main level arcade. The storefront replicates the warehouse windows seen above the main level. Based on Frye’s heritage steeped in American craftsmanship, the At- lanta store highlights the brand’s legacy through a celebration of au- thentic products and iconic leather goods. The space showcases the breadth of the brand’s footwear and accessories for men, women and children, maintaining the tradition of quality and craftsmanship that has been a hallmark of The Frye Company. The store’s most dramatic feature is an enormous installation known as “The Chandelier,” which consists of 7,000 leather straps holding Frye’s signature harness rings. Surrounding The Chande- lier are shelving units inspired by a craftsman’s toolbox from the turn of the century. The toolbox units have been redesigned to work as shelving within the stores “workshop” and display “The Archive,” a curated grid wall of handbags, which coordinate back to the footwear. The store draws inspiration from vintage artisan workshops, incorpo- rating details in the furniture, lighting and displays. Raw materials used throughout the store are left to weather, with the assertion that each becomes better with age, just like its products. Tables designed to reference workbenches coexist with custom seating in gray upholstery accented by bronze legs and vintage carpets. The curated environment, designed by Frye’s in-house team, in partnership with Carlton Archi- tecture of New York, captures the spirit and essence of the brand’s 153-year history while incorporat- ing unique characteristics of the locale. The store has a distinct character, conveying a sense of warmth and familiarity via a sensory jour- ney of rich leathers, craftsmanship and history. ●
