Beyond the Mundane: How Studio Garrison Captures What Luxury Clients Want Through Bold Design & Sustainability
Design visionaries unite: Studio Garrison's Garrison Hullinger explores sustainable luxury with GROHE's Jean-Jacques L'Henaff and local talent Molly Switzer
When Couture Meets Faucets: A Night of Design Revolution
At a groundbreaking event hosted by The Fixture Gallery, Portland’s design elite witnessed the collision of high fashion and sustainable innovation. Studio Garrison founder Garrison Hullinger joined GROHE’s VP of Design Jean-Jacques L’Henaff and acclaimed designer Molly Switzer to dissect the GROHE x Christian Siriano partnership—a collaboration redefining luxury through artistry and planet-conscious engineering.
The Sustainability-Style Synergy
Jean-Jacques L’Henaff crystallized the evening’s ethos:
"True luxury isn’t extravagant waste—it’s the marriage of impeccable aesthetics with responsibility. Christian Siriano’s visionary designs prove sustainability amplifies beauty, it doesn’t compromise it."
This philosophy mirrors Studio Garrison’s approach:
Artistry as Strategy: Siriano’s New York Fashion Week bound collection elevates everyday fixtures into sculptural statements—a tactic Studio Garrison employs for luxury kitchens and baths.
Eco-Innovation as Standard: GROHE’s water-saving tech (like the GROHE Blue Sparkling System) demonstrates that premium design demands environmental stewardship.
Christian Siriano's NYFW bound collection transforms everyday fixtures into wearable art—proving luxury design transcends categories
The muse revealed: GROHE's Spa Allure collection in brass—where German engineering meets couture sensibility.
Garrison Hullinger’s Manifesto: Rejecting the Ordinary
When host Amy Mack (Consolidated Supply Co.) asked Hullinger what designers should take from Siriano’s couture-inspired installations, his reply ignited the room:
This mantra is Studio Garrison’s blueprint for captivating luxury clients:
Boldness Opens Doors: High-net-worth clients crave originality. Siriano’s daring silhouettes and GROHE’s Concetto faucets (featured at the event) prove disruptive design attracts attention.
Sustainability is the New Luxury: 78% of luxury buyers prioritize eco-innovation (McKinsey, 2025). Projects flaunting GROHE’s carbon-neutral production or recycled materials resonate deeply.
Experience Over Product: The event’s fusion of fashion, cocktails, and design mirrored Studio Garrison’s immersive client journeys—transacting isn’t enough; we captivate.
Fluid innovation: Siriano's shimmering drape captures water's transformative power—the essence Studio Garrison brings to luxury interiors.
Creating buzz: The Fixture Gallery's curated audience comes together for a night of fashion and design.
Runway ready: This royal blue masterpiece embodies Siriano's “wearable water” philosophy—fluid, fearless, and unforgettable.
