Crosby and Nash Bring Down the House at Arhaus

NEW YORK, May 13, 2011 -- The lyrics of "Our House," the hit 70s Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young tune, wafted throughout Manhattan's Meatpacking District last night when Arhaus Furniture presented David Crosby and Graham Nash in a special, invitation-only performance celebrating the 25-year-old retailer's first New York store. Nearly 600 guests filled the 28,000-square-foot location at 410 West 13th Street to enjoy some of the group's legendary songs.

"The Arhaus opening in New York is our 38th store in the U.S., and it warranted a special reveal," said John Reed, CEO. "To have such musical giants as David Crosby and Graham Nashsinging such beloved classics like 'Our House' was a rare treat that has set the tone for the exceptional experience Arhaus brings to New York shoppers."

Though it was an unconventional concert venue, the Arhaus store—with scores of plump-cushioned sofas, chairs, tables, beds, and rugs in well-styled and fully accessorized environments—turned out to be a uniquely intimate and homey setting.

"With that one single 'Our House' anthem, Crosby and Nash brought down the house at Arhaus," commented Reed. "What better way to begin our New York venture?"
