On Thursday, July 31st, CB2 will open its doors in San Francisco’s Union Square. The 8,000-square-foot store, with exposed brick and dark bamboo floors, is stocked with modern goods including cherry red wing chairs, recycled placemats, wall hangings by Finnish artist Maija Louekari, and tangerine-hued side tables designed as a nod to Florence Knoll.

For a glimpse inside the new space, head to 35 Ellis St., San Francisco, Cb2.com. A portion of the proceeds from opening weekend will benefit San Francisco’s Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation.
