I recently read a blog post about Levi's Worshop, a space dedicated to supporting culture and community.http://designmind.frogdesign.com/blog/nothing-is-what-it-seems.html "Many companies are beginning to acknowledge the shift from just making good products to providing meaningful experiences," says the author, Kristina Loring.
