Disney Centerpiece, is one of the six boutiques coming to the Marketplace Co-Op at Downtown Disney Marketplace in a few months.  Disney Centerpiece will feature a line of chalkboard art-inspired home goods.  The artwork for these items was created by Natalie Kennedy, senior graphic designer with Disney Design Group.  Steven was able to talk to Natalie about the designs.

We also expanded the program to include items inspired by Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.” The latter artwork is a nice nod to New Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom Park.”
