The digital-first brand was founded in 2011 by Roxy Te, building on a 40-year family tradition. It designs and produces upholstery, casegoods and furniture.

Expect the South End location to offer original furniture designs, custom design services, home decor accessories and lifestyle gifts.

“As a modern brand with digital origins, we saw the importance of having a place where our customers can not only touch and feel our designs but also experience a physical expression of our brand in real life,” Te says.
