Description

The Colburn Fur Store on Wilshire Boulevard near downtown Los Angeles, was an up-scale shop specializing in women's fur coats. The large windows brought in lots of natural light, and the full-length mirrors allowed the customers to view themselves from all angles while shopping for a new fur. Weber designed the interiors, the furniture, and the exterior of the existing building for Colburn.
