the showroom day — four hours in san francisco

there is no substitute for the showroom. for touching the materials. for sitting in the chairs. for seeing how the light falls on a particular finish at 3pm on a tuesday. for having a conversation that isn’t mediated by a screen.

the showroom day is four hours at de sousa hughes in san francisco — a private, curated experience for you and up to three decision-makers. it includes: a pre-visit design brief (so the showroom is prepared for you — relevant pieces pulled, material samples ready, questions anticipated), a guided tour of the full showroom with a senior designer, a deep-dive work session on your project (with floor plans, material boards, and real-time specification), and lunch — the conversation continues, less formally.

you leave with: a preliminary furniture specification, material samples to take with you, a summary document capturing everything discussed, and the intangible benefit of having spent a day immersed in one of the most beautifully curated design environments in the country.

for the client who wants to experience the collection fully. for the designer bringing a client to san francisco. for anyone who understands that some things can only be decided in person.
