Luxury custom cabinetry manufacturer Wood-Mode announces the opening of its first ever Wood-Mode Lifestyle Design Center in Chicago’s historic Merchandise Mart. The Lifestyle Design Center will be located in LuxeHome, the world’s largest collection of premier boutiques for home building and renovation, on the first floor of the Merchandise Mart in Suite 119. The grand opening is planned for December 2014.

After having a successful presence in The Merchandise Mart for more than 20 years, Wood-Mode made the strategic move to open the Design Center. This prime location will be available to all Wood-Mode dealers, as well as homeowners, designers, architects, builders, and trade professionals, even beyond the Chicago area to experience the Wood-Mode brand like never before. Visitors will find:

• A showcase for the latest product releases and Wood-Mode lifestyle design themes presenting styles ranging from traditional to transitional and contemporary for the kitchen, bath and beyond.
• A prominent entry display featuring Embassy Row, Wood-Mode’s newest design theme. https://www.wood-mode.com/design-inspirations/video-inspirations
