Though it’s hard for us to believe, 2017 marks the 20th anniversary of PAGODA RED. In that time, we’ve proudly become the design destination for people who love the art and history of storied objects.
We’ve been reflecting back on the many ways our gallery has transformed and evolved over the years. As we scroll through images, we can chart our creative journey as collectors—and see what an amazing trip it’s been. We like to think of our space as being its own living, breathing work of art, and are grateful to our wonderful clients for actively contributing to that conversation.
We now invite you to step back in time with us, as we share a few memories of the ever-changing space.

When we renovated the Bucktown space, we said goodbye to painted linoleum floors, and hello to a brand-new layout.
