LOS ANGELES — European luxury furniture brand Eichholtz has opened its first West Coast flagship showroom in Los Angeles, partnering with interior designer Ryan Saghian to bring its high-end aesthetic to the city’s West Hollywood Design District.
The 6,300-square-foot showroom at 464 N. Robertson Blvd. marks a significant step for the Netherlands-based brand, known for its furniture, lighting and accessories used in hospitality and retail spaces worldwide. The new location is owned and curated by Saghian, whose adjacent design studio sits at 462 N. Robertson. Although the businesses are separate, the proximity and shared vision underscore the collaborative nature of the venture.
“This showroom is not just about furniture; it’s about creating a space that reflects both the heritage of Eichholtz and the energy of Los Angeles,” said Saghian.
A global brand with local influence
Founded in 1992 by antiques dealer Theo Eichholtz, the brand has expanded to more than 110 countries. It offers more than4,000 home furnishings products, many of which are available with a lead time of two to three weeks.
The Los Angeles location is Eichholtz’s first on the West Coast and adds to its growing U.S. footprint.
CEO Michiel Herkemij said Saghian’s ability to balance creativity with brand alignment made him the right choice to lead the new showroom.
“We are proud to welcome Ryan Saghian into the Eichholtz family of retail partners,” Herkemij said. “His commitment to upholding our brand standards and collaborative mindset give us great confidence in his ability to be the brand ambassador in this important West Coast market.”
Styled as a European townhouse, the showroom features design elements such as artisanal brickwork, black lacquer millwork and wrought iron detailing. Its interior includes custom finishes and artwork, including four plaster bas-relief columns created by Belgian artist Katrien Van der Schueren.
Saghian, a native of Los Angeles, has been sourcing Eichholtz pieces for his projects since discovering the brand during a 2014 trip to Salone del Mobile in Milan. In addition to leading the showroom’s curation, he continues to run his own design studio and develop interiors for a roster of private clients.
The Eichholtz Los Angeles showroom includes several shop-in-shop partnerships with global brands entering the U.S. market:
- Hakwood, a Dutch flooring company, opening its first U.S. gallery
- Little Greene, a British paint and wallpaper supplier making its U.S. debut
- Lo & Co, an Australian hardware brand using the showroom as its first American distribution hub
A bespoke upholstery program will also be offered, allowing designers and clients to customize Eichholtz furniture with their own materials. Pieces are locally fabricated and delivered with white glove service.
Cultural programming and collaborations
The showroom will serve as a cultural venue in addition to a retail destination. A partnership with Advocartsy, a platform for Iranian contemporary art, will bring rotating exhibitions to the space. Works from Saghian’s personal collection, including pieces by Ghanaian artist Serge Attukwei Clottey and Andy Warhol’s portrait of former Iranian empress Farah Pahlavi, will also be on view.
In addition, the space will host events and programming for the design community. An upcoming book signing with interior designer and TV host Breegan Jane is already planned.
Eichholtz’s collaboration with The Metropolitan Museum of Art will also be featured in the new showroom. The Met x Eichholtz collection includes 160 pieces of furniture, lighting and accessories inspired by the museum’s permanent collection. The line blends historic design references with contemporary style and is currently in its second release, with a third installment expected in fall 2025.
Eichholtz Chief Creative Officer Edwin van der Gun said the Los Angeles showroom offers a distinct take on the brand while remaining true to its roots. “Ryan’s personalized touches throughout the space demonstrate the versatility of our collections for an LA audience.”
For Saghian, who is of Persian descent, the project represents an opportunity to fuse global influences with a distinctly Los Angeles style. Antiques curated by his partner, Chak Monet, also are included in the showroom, among them, a marble sculpture of Ganymede’s torso.
“Good design isn’t about choosing between tradition and reinvention; it’s about mastering both,” Saghian said.
