Get an inside look at a trio of showrooms invigorating the Bay Area design scene.
Molteni&C Flagship Store
Now, there is yet another reason to visit Luminaire in San Francisco’s Design District: the addition of the Molteni&C Flagship Store adjacent to furniture showroom. The 3,000-square-foot venue beckons with a welcoming residential environment, from the living area by the entrance to the built-in kitchen and walk-in wardrobe system deeper inside. Designs by the likes of Vincent Van Duysen, Jean Nouvel, Foster + Partners, Ron Gilad, Yabu Pushelberg and Herzog & de Meuron populate the store.
RH Palo Alto, The Gallery At Stanford
With the opening of RH Palo Alto, The Gallery at Stanford, the Peninsula has an exquisite new design destination. Its 60,000 square feet features a double floating staircase that leads to the glass-encased Rooftop Restaurant on the third level. Alfresco areas with heritage olive trees and sculptural evergreens contribute to a transportive experience, while the interactive design studio’s state-of-the-art technology reminds shoppers that they’re in the heart of Silicon Valley.

De Sousa Hughes’ 25,000 square feet provide a gallery-like atmosphere for presenting furniture, accessories, textiles and lighting—including recently added lines by Thierry Lemaire, Alexander Lamont, Alison Berger Glassworks and TheSign. One thing that hasn’t changed is the showroom’s focus on modern handcrafted designs that highlight some of the industry’s most creative makers.
