Gaggenau
German kitchen company Gaggenau has opened its newest showroom in Beverly Hills, “where design, culture and luxury lifestyle converge,” says Heather Ryan, the brand’s Head of North America. Designed by architectural studio 1zu33, the serene and airy space speaks to the spirit of Los Angeles, with features that nod to the city’s Spanish history and architecture. “People here have an appreciation for elevated design, culinary performance and experiential luxury,” says Ryan, noting that the company’s SoCal clientele seeks to craft kitchens with intention, with bespoke cabinetry, refined finishes and appliances that are not only highly functional but also sculptural—like Gaggenau’s new Bauhaus-inspired Expressive collection. “The Beverly Hills showroom allows clients to engage with appliances in a way that feels intimate, tactile and personal,” Ryan concludes, “offering a true understanding of the craftsmanship that defines the Gaggenau difference.”
Eichholtz
Dutch furniture, lighting and accessories company Eichholtz has arrived on the West Coast with a 6,300-square-foot flagship realized by their showroom neighbor, interior designer Ryan Saghian. Separate entities but retail partners, the two studios sit next to each other on North Robertson Boulevard. “Eichholtz is all about bold design, high style and global influences, and there’s a certain confidence to their pieces,” says Saghian. The designer envisioned the new space as a private residence that embraces both a worldly style and L.A.’s casual, layered look. “The vignettes show how versatile Eichholtz really is,” he adds. “Think: European glamour meets West Coast ease.” Eichholtz, which was founded in 1992, releases two full collections annually, so expect the new gallery to display their ever-growing catalogue of coveted pieces.
