Furniture Shop Featuring Contemporary Carl Hansen & Son Designs Opens in Scottsdale Architect Robert Moric, owner of Phoenix area bulthaup kitchen design shop, is expanding high-end mid-century modern and contemporary home design with a new Carl Hansen & Son furniture store. The retail venue, which introduces the entire Carl Hansen & Son collection, also features lighting accessories and a handpicked selection of home products by other top designers. The furniture, which is comprised of nearly a century of design history, only recently emerged in North America. According to a press release, the 1,500 square foot shop is designed as an elegant yet understated contemporary living space to help buyers visualize actual living areas. “Carl Hansen & Son products offer the greatest quality as well as unparalleled beauty—but are not as well known in North America as they are abroad,” says Moric. The new store is located at 4175 N. Goldwater Blvd. in Scottsdale. For more information visit www.carlhansen.com.
