South Coast Plaza is the Second Store in the U.S. Showcasing Pottery Barn’s New Localized Store Design
Pottery Barn, a member of the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE: WSM)
portfolio of brands, today opened its redesigned store at South Coast
Plaza in Costa Mesa, California. The 17,293 square foot store is
influenced by the Spanish Mediterranean architecture found throughout
Orange County, blending traditional and contemporary elements to create
a refined and relaxed environment that embodies the Pottery Barn
lifestyle.
The store features grand-scale steel framed windows and rustic wood barn
doors with hand-forged metal accents that open into a warm and bright
interior. Inside, beams made of reclaimed cedar and shelves made of oak
salvaged from old barns add character while concrete and brick walls add
texture through the use of mixed materials. As part of Pottery Barn’s
commitment to sustainability, the store features LED lighting to reduce
energy consumption and low VOC paints to reduce toxins.
Additionally, an expanded Design Studio offers new tools and resources
to assist customers in visualizing and customizing interior design and
home furnishings projects. In-store and in-home design consultations
with expert Design Specialists are always free and, for a small fee,
in-home installation services - which include room painting, drape
installation, gallery wall hanging and more - are also available.
“South Coast Plaza is the second installment of our new store design and
showcases our inviting and timeless home furnishings and décor in a
refreshing new light,” said Laura Alber, President and Chief Executive
Officer, Williams-Sonoma, Inc. “This exciting update provides an
opportunity to create a localized store experience that encourages a
sense of discovery, makes shopping easy and fun, and offers tailored
services to help our customers create their dream homes.”
To celebrate the opening, Pottery Barn will be hosting a pre-opening
celebration on Thursday, August 11th with LA-based blogger,
author, and tastemaker,
Anne
Sage
. Open to the public from 6pm-8pm, guests will enjoy light

as well as have the opportunity to mingle with Anne, who will be sharing
