We Got a Sneak Peek of Poliform’s Vancouver Showroom

And yes, we can see ourselves moving in.

After years of calling Inform Interiors home, Poliform products are finally all grown up and getting a place of their own: the new Poliform Vancouver showroom opens to the public on September 4th. And as far as first homes in our city go, it’s pretty swanky.

The Italian brand’s new West Pender digs sport dark wood and natural stone. The 5,000 square foot showroom is less like a retail space and more like a living space, and certainly looks nothing like the Fedex that used to inhabit the property. It’s designed to inspire a lifestyle, so visitors to the showroom are welcome to put the furniture to the test.

Two levels spotlight Poliform’s sofas, bookcases, armchairs and beds, but the real highlight is the closet tucked in the rear of the second floor. Dressed in soft textures with a wall-to-ceiling shoe rack and drawers galore (we lost count), it takes walk-in closet to a new level. Forget walking – this closet could host it’s own flash mob.

The new Vancouver location provides a home for Poliform products as well as design services for clients, so it’s the place to go for both decor inspo and expert advice. If you can’t find us, we’re probably hanging out in the closet.
