John Hardy - Houston
Houston, TX
John Hardy’s first U.S. stand-alone boutique, located in Houston, marks a pivotal moment in the brand’s global transformation—bringing the spirit of its design atelier in Ubud, Bali, to life through architecture. The space is a warm, immersive expression of the brand’s artisanal legacy, offering guests a heightened sense of hospitality, craftsmanship, and discovery.
At the heart of the boutique, a monumental jewelry display table—evocative of Balinese communal living—serves as both focal point and storytelling platform. Designed with sculptural precision, the table features oil-rubbed walnut softened by carved edges, weathered bronze detailing, and hammered gold inlays that shimmer like water. Custom vitrines—each tailored to the intricacies of John Hardy’s distinct collections—float throughout the space, offering curated vantage points and tactile engagement.
Every element is finely crafted: Amuneal’s custom fabrication elevates the bespoke displays, while signature carved wood, scooped forms, and artisan finishes reflect the hand of the maker. Along the store’s perimeter, a continuous walnut ledge pierces the façade, creating a seamless connection between interior and exterior. Suspended window showcases and textured signature glass further illustrate the artistry, tools, and heritage at the core of the John Hardy story.
