Before launching Pine+Palm, I knew I wanted to create a showroom—a dedicated space where I could bring clients to explore materials and design concepts they might incorporate into their own homes. In the early months of 2025, shortly after starting the business, I was presented with an incredible opportunity to open a showroom on the island of Maui, where I grew up. I had to seriously consider whether the scale of the project was too ambitious to take on so early. Ultimately, I decided to go for it—and I’m so glad I did.The initial concept for the space includes a fully functioning kitchen and bathroom, thoughtfully designed to showcase the materials I carry. Each area of the showroom highlights products and ideas that reflect the Pine+Palm aesthetic, allowing clients to see how these elements come to life in a real environment.
