Kitchen and bar designer Jim Dove has announced the opening of his second showroom and studio on Antique Row in West Palm Beach.

NEW YORK
Designers Alexa Hampton and Thom Filicia have partnered to produce Market On the Move, a new pop-up showroom at the New York Design Center.

Brazilian furniture designer Sossego has opened a new showroom at 200 Lex, bringing its array of contemporary offerings to the New York design community for the first time. The 2,300-square-foot flagship location was designed by Guilherme Wentz, featuring broad spans of windows and light-soaked vignettes.
INTERNATIONAL
London-based furniture designer Covet House has unveiled a new showroom concept inside a villa in St. Petersburg, Russia. The $8.5 million project is the first of the brand’s new series of experiential showrooms, blending hospitality and brand exposure in one luxury location.
British designer Tom Dixon has opened a new flagship store in Shanghai as part of the brand’s expansion in Asia, marking its third retail space in China.
