Charleston Design District adds Stark to growing roster of design brands
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Charleston Design District has added design brand Stark to its roster of premium home furnishings companies.
“Stark will enhance the resources and innovative selection of interior furnishings available to the coastal Carolinas,” said Michael Phillips, president of Jamestown LP, a real estate company based in Georgia. “This is an exciting step forward in connecting the Lowcountry’s design community with a global design network and amplifying the region’s unique design aesthetic to a broader audience.”
The Charleston Design District is a central component of the Navy Yard Charleston redevelopment, a project led by Jamestown along with local Charleston real estate developers Weaver Capital Partners and WECCO Development.
Stark’s 1,340-square-foot showroom in the Charleston Design District is anticipated to open to the trade this winter.
“Opening a showroom in the Charleston Design District is a natural evolution for Stark. Charleston has become one of the country’s most dynamic design destinations where heritage, craftsmanship and modern luxury intersect,” said Chad Stark, CEO of Stark.
“This showroom represents more than geographic expansion; it’s a commitment to deepening our relationships in the Southeast and contributing to a Design District that’s rooted in creativity and innovation. We’re excited for the role Stark will play in helping shape the development and look forward to inspiring designers with the breadth of our collections for years to come.”
The Stark addition comes on the heels of Schumacher, Kravet, and Holland & Sherry opening showrooms within the Charleston Design District’s Storehouse Eight, situated at the heart of Navy Yard Charleston. These companies are joining a community of emerging and established design brands, including The Urban Electric Co. and Fritz Porter (Navy Yard Industrial Campus).
Schumacher’s 3,760-square-foot showroom features more than 7,000 signature fabrics and wallpapers. Antiques, pillows, throws, baskets, coffee table books, art and handmade ceramics are also available for purchase in the showroom’s design shop.
Kravet’s 2,240-square-foot interactive workspace is merchandised to align with how designers work, whether by category or color, and features more than 20,000 SKUs of fabric, wallcoverings, carpets and furniture.
Situated within a 1,340-square-foot space, Holland & Sherry’s showroom features the brand’s core collection that includes nearly 1,500 SKUs of wool, linen, performance textiles and embroideries. The space also offers a dedicated rug room, sample room and three bays of fabrics.
