Italian kitchenware brand Berkel has opened its first-ever showroom in the U.S. in Doral, Florida. The brand’s other showrooms are in Milan and Cologne, Germany. (5675 Northwest 84th Avenue, Doral, Florida)
After testing the concept of the “neighborhood showroom” in Los Angeles, direct-to-consumer outdoor furniture brand Outer has opened its first New York showroom in Tribeca atop the residential rooftop of a client, rather than the traditional brick-and-mortar. (There’s no address available—it is someone’s home, after all—but you can book appointments here.)

DDC has opened a 7,000-square-foot outlet in Manhattan offering samples from the showroom floor.

(East 40th Street, 11th Floor, New York)
Japanese lifestyle brand Muji has launched a pop-up in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood, which will be open from now until January 2020. It highlights the company’s history, projects and products; a few household items will be available to buy. (545 Broadway, New York)
Designer Ariene Bethea has opened a new shop for Dressing Room Interiors Studio in Charlotte, North Carolina—specifically, in a gray midcentury house with a coral door. “I’ve been looking for a space, and the goal was for my husband and me to be next to each other to help each other,” Bethea, whose husband operates a chiropractic business next door, said in a statement. “When this space became available, it was perfect.” (2120 North Sharon Amity Road, Charlotte, North Carolina)
