Over 300 guests attended the lavish celebration held in the CG space, located in the Chicago Luxury Furniture Centre in downtown Chicago. Guests enjoyed a red carpet welcome, ribbon cutting ceremony and a champagne toast, before celebrating beautiful designs and CG pieces in the newly renovated showroom. Pieces from the 2016 CG Collection were premiered at the showroom alongside other designs that have featured in major Hollywood motion pictures and television series.

“The official launch of the Chicago showroom was a magnificent success. It was a delight to meet so many guests who share our passion for design, elegance and classic values with a contemporary feel,” said Christopher Guy Harrison, chief designer and founder of Christopher Guy. “Our Chicago showroom adds to the expanding portfolio of spaces and CG is proud to share our visions across the world. We have enjoyed a fantastic relationship with the Denos family and also our customers and friends in the great city of Chicago. This new showroom offers Midwest customers the most unique space to enjoy CG pieces.”

“The Chicago showroom adds to the expanding and impressive portfolio of spaces that Christopher Guy is unveiling around the world. We are increasing our market share as we are providing customers with spaces where they can truly experience what it is like to live in a home created by Christopher,” added Paul Watson, President of CG Americas. “The new showroom builds upon a successful eight-year partnership between Christopher Guy and the Denos family, as both parties believe in offering a personal touch to each and every customer.”

The CG showroom encompasses three floors in the 40,000 square foot, six-story building which Mr. Denos personally redesigned and owns.  Other brands at the same address include Atelier and Clive Christian.

Mr. Denos was born and raised in Chicago, and his partnership is highly regarded by Christopher Guy. He added, “I am delighted that so many friends, customers, designers and local influencers came out to join us for our launch. The creation of the CG showroom has been a labor of love, so to experience such great reactions from guests was the perfect way to confirm our vision was right for Chicago. Customers want a real feel for furniture and our space really allows them to experience Christopher’s pieces in the most personal and practical way. We are proud that this is the latest success in our long standing partnership with Christopher Guy.”
