Calligaris Opens a New Store in SoHo, New York CIty
New York, NY (PRWEB) March 13, 2017 -- Niki and Shaokao Cheng, owners of BoConcept New York, proudly announce the March 1st opening of the first Calligaris Brand Store in New York City. The husband and wife team have owned and operated the BoConcept Franchise in New York and New Jersey for the past 14 years. This is their first foray into a furniture brand outside of BoConcept. “We chose Calligaris for its award winning Italian modern design and great price points; and it wonderfully complements the offerings at our other stores,” says Niki.
Being New York’s epicenter for Art, Design and Fashion, SoHo is natural fit Calligaris. It’s New York’s most stylish neighborhood with no shortage of trendy spots for premium dining and shopping. SoHo stays true to its historical charm with the cobblestone streets, cast-iron architecture, sweeping lofts and galleries. Much like SoHo, Calligaris blends the past, present and future of design. The 4,000-square foot store will carry time tested designs from Calligaris’ 90-year history to the newest, innovative, functional, and customizable designs. “We brought the first Brand Store to SoHo because we believe this furniture is for New Yorkers. It embraces our need for space, individuality, and great prices,” remarks Shaokao. “Its design is chic, modern, flexible and functional. The furniture works like Lego. Sofas can be combined with different seats, covers, and legs while chairs, tables and beds can be assembled in countless ways to add uniqueness to any design. They are all available in a range of beautiful finishes, styles and materials. Customers can create a customized high-end look and feel to their home at a price they will love,” adds Niki Cheng.
Calligaris NYC is located at 55 Thompson Street, NY, NY 10012. Phone: 212-966-8188
