Rhone Apparel, the men’s active wear and lifestyle brand, is opening a pop-up location at Chelsea Piers’ Connecticut location at 1 Blachley Road in Stamford.
The 600-square-foot space will open to the public on November 15 and remain open until spring 2017. The brand will host a number of in-store events during the run of the pop-up. Rhone will also outfit the male staff at the club.
“We’re excited to partner with Chelsea Piers Connecticut to launch a Rhone retail experience,” Nate Checketts, co-founder and CEO of Rhone, said in a statement. “This is the perfect opportunity to interact with our customers and local community, and understand how we can best serve them.”
For the shop, visual director Michelle Barone took inspiration from the brand’s product versatility to create an industrial and rugged look. Vintage locker baskets and an old wooden bar that functions as a checkout counter complement the custom blackened steel and diamond pattern metal mesh fixtures, designed by Stand & Build. Rhone also partnered with Lillian August, a fellow Connecticut-based retailer, who provided many of the fixtures for the shop.
To celebrate the launch of the pop-up, Rhone and Chelsea Piers will host a cocktail reception at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the Adult Lounge.
