Arhaus furnishes boxer Billy Hope's home in Southpaw movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Rachel McAdams and Forest Whitaker
Cleveland, Ohio (PRWEB) July 23, 2015 -- Arhaus, the lifestyle retailer, headquartered in Cleveland and at http://www.arhaus.com, recently partnered with the Weinstein Company on their upcoming summer release Southpaw. A sports drama set to open in theatres Friday, July 24, Southpaw stars Jake Gyllenhaal as boxer Billy Hope. Arhaus collaborated with Set Decorator Merissa Lombardo to furnish the luxury New York mansion, home to Hope and his family.
The residence, shot on location in Pittsburgh, serves as the main stage for the film and overall story written by Kurt Sutter and directed by Antoine Fuqua.
Everything from sofas and chairs, to bar stools, lighting, to coffee and end tables, office furniture and even outdoor accessories were provided by the retailer.
“We selected strong, modern pieces with clean lines that fit into the house, which was really on the more traditional side,” says Lombardo. “The furnishings are grand showcasing the young couple’s newly acquired success and wealth, but they also have a warm and comfortable feel to represent their life as a family and Maureen as she’s absent in a large portion of the film.”
Maureen is Hope’s wife played by Rachel McAdams.
While Arhaus’ furniture can be seen throughout the film in various rooms of the home, it’s the upholstered Barrister bed in the couple’s master bedroom whereby several key scenes play out.
Other designs by the retailer that make an on-screen appearance include an assortment of handmade ceramic planters by the pool, and several of the retailer's signature leather sofas and chairs in the living room and in Hope’s office along with an executive style desk called Kieran.

“Furnishing a better world.” This is our philosophy; it dates back to 1986 when father and son, Jack and John Reed, opened the first store location in Cleveland and vowed never to use wood from the world’s endangered rainforests in the making of an Arhaus design. Today, nearly 50 percent of our collections are made of recycled material—everything from glass to metals like copper and wood cast off from far off lands. To ensure our values are upheld, we work with artisans who share our earth conscious beliefs and use renewable and recycled materials when crafting pieces for our stores. Sustainably sourced timbers like teak, bamboo and mango—grown for the sole purpose of building—are used. And because we love a good story, we use reclaimed materials whenever possible, namely wood from countries tearing down dilapidated barns, shipyards and rural structures, and we refurbish one-of-a-kind antiques that we call Relics. To further minimize our impact on the environment, our stores, corporate offices and even delivery trucks operate at maximum energy efficiency and promotional pieces are printed using soy-based ink and on recycled paper.
