Years of living here have trained the eye for rooms that treat furniture as seriously as a gallery would. KABINETT PDX on SE Alder lays out vintage furniture and homeware like exhibits, each piece given room and light.
Find it, and the rest of the city we keep returning to, on sabi's Portland list.
The shop
The space is arranged with a curator's patience. Pieces are grouped by form and material, so the eye moves from one object to the next the way it would through a gallery.
Objects on the shelf
Expect vintage furniture, lighting, glass, and ceramics, chosen for the quality of their making. Every piece carries the craft of its maker and the years since.
Visiting
KABINETT is open Wednesday through Sunday. Give yourself time to walk the room twice. The second pass always turns up something new.
More design stops in Portland
Vintage Pink on Hawthorne and Shop Boswell on Morrison are close by and pair well in one afternoon.
