The 2,052-square-foot Carl Hansen & Søn flagship in San Francisco, like the recently expanded New York City location before it, has a loft-like vibe and comprises two exhibit spaces—one dedicated to iconic collections (Hans J.

Meanwhile, existing tenants Sutherland Perennials Studio, Kolo Collection, Showroom 58 and R Hughes have expanded their footprints within the building; a striking addition to the R Hughes showroom will also double as an entertaining space.
