This Chicago Home Goods Shop Showcases Old + New Pieces Alike

After three years in the Hubbard Woods Design District in Winnetka, home goods store Arch has relocated about a mile down the road to a larger space. “It was time to get bigger and better,” says founder Laura White. Named to honor her grandfathers, both named Arch, the shop offers vintage and contemporary finds in furniture, jewelry, art, apothecary and pantry.

As a designer and vintage treasure hunter, White has always been drawn to items with history and patina. “I appreciate the brilliance of artists and creators,” she shares. Visitors ambling through the store may discover such finds as vintage chandelier earrings by Kenneth Jay Lane alongside all-natural candles and beauty products. Furnishings run the gamut from 1970s Italian travertine coffee tables to Belgian trestle tables and French commodes. “My favorite pieces are the ones with soul,” White says. “Vintage is always trending because antiques add story, warmth and interesting layers to an environment.”

She also offers upholstered pieces, light fixtures and accessories like mirrors and vases. Can’t find what you’re looking for in the store? White is happy to help customers source goods through her network of dealers. “We have our ways,” she quips. “Opening the store was a way for me to bring so many of the things I’m passionate about into one place. Arch is where it all lives.”
