PINKY, a leader in popularizing the iron door trend since 1978, has opened its first flagship showroom. This isn’t your typical retail space—it’s a bold fusion of refined gallery and working warehouse, masterminded by celebrated AD100 designer Jeremiah Brent.
For PINKYS co-owner Dion Der, the location was crucial. “We decided to open our first showroom inside our headquarters and warehouse in Vernon because it was important to us to honor our local community of artisans and makers,” he explains. “Our idea was to embrace the spirit of industry and arts that we live in every day.”
This unconventional setting allows customers to experience the full scope of PINKYS’ capabilities, from production to finished product. The showroom is an experiential “guide shop,” offering hightouch customer service and showcasing the brand’s complete collections. Visitors can explore custom creations and new launches like the colorful California Collection. Most importantly, the space invites customers to push the boundaries of what’s possible in iron door design. For those seeking to elevate their home’s entrance or add architectural drama, step inside PINKYS “glass box” to discover how. pinkysirondoors.com
