SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Williams Sonoma Home, a member of the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE: WSM) portfolio of brands, is opening a standalone store in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City. The 5,300 square foot store will offer a full suite of home furnishings and décor offerings perfect for city living, as well as Williams Sonoma Inc.’s complimentary Design Crew interior design services that helps customers create one-of-a-kind spaces.
Expanding on the exceptional quality and craftsmanship that are hallmarks of its namesake brand, Williams Sonoma Home launched in 2004 to offer customers furniture and décor for every room in the home. Williams Sonoma Home has been marketed primarily through the online channel, williamssonomahome.com, and a monthly direct mail catalog. Within the past eighteen months, more than forty existing Williams Sonoma stores have added the Williams Sonoma Home assortment, and in April the brand debuted its first Williams Sonoma Home standalone store in Calabasas, California.
The New York City store marks the second dedicated Williams Sonoma Home store in the nation and will feature the most extensive assortment of rugs, draperies and lighting out of the entire fleet of stores. It will also include furniture pieces ideal for high end small space living, such as smaller scale furniture and a sleeper sofa, that are both functional and chic. The new store will reside next door to the existing Williams Sonoma kitchen retail space.
“New York is one of the most vibrant cities in the world. We’re excited that Williams Sonoma Home will be joining a community that is known for world-class design, architecture, fashion and food,” said Janet Hayes, President of Williams Sonoma and Williams Sonoma Home. “We’ve had our kitchen store in Chelsea for years and when the opportunity arose to have the two concepts side-by-side, we couldn’t pass it up. Now customers can shop for every room in their home, right in one place.”
In celebration of the opening, the store will hold a series of events to welcome customers in for a first look. Full schedule below.
