White Christmas in Portland? We’ve got a little white too! The hip White SALE!

Now that the snow has all melted away, at least in most areas, we thought we would have a look around and see what we had in white. As it turns out, quite a lot! Below are just a few pictures of what we saw on our first look around the store. There are more than shown here, but the point we're making today is, why not have a little white sale at hip? We are in winter sale mode now. We're not sure what last weeks mode was, since we had to close most of those days, but now we're back at the store and ready to make up for lost time and visitors, so come in through January 4th and get an additional 5% off anything white we have in stock.

Area 51 and Planet the table.

We have voted this chair "Best new design from Italy.". Our favorite chair company, Calligaris has once again surprised us with this extremely comfortable light weight beauty. Available in orange, pink, green (shown) and white. These chairs combine well with the Planet table shown. Area chairs $162 now $129 during our winter sale. Planet table $1042 now $829. Image

2008 Best Bar Stool

The Matteo bar stool from Nuevo. We rate this one BEST style points, comfort, quality of construction and last but certainly not least, it has a hydraulic adjustment, easily converting the stool from counter height to bar height, while also providing light entertainment during the cocktail hour. $345, now $275 during our winter sale.

We’re loving walnut!

New from Calligaris, the "Horizon" sideboard shown in the background, measures 83" x 23" x 29" and is topped with a milk white glass top slightly set down below the surrounding edges, allowing an easy hand pull on the door or top drawer. The "Horrizon" sideboard is priced at $2733, but during our winter sale, you can order one for $2100. The "Modern" table shown in the foreground really shows off the grain of the walnut and is a perfect complement to the "Horizon" sideboard, usually it sells for $1725. Order during our winter sale at $1380 and the beauty of this table becomes an obviously great investment that will last years. Image

Portland Metropolitan residents can now sign up for the eye network from hip. A limited quantity of eye network cards will become available for registration and distribution beginning mid October 2008. Portland Metro area customers sign up now. The Eye Network card not a credit card. The Eye Network is simply our way of rewarding you, your friends and your family for helping spread the word about hip and our Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams store.

The upcoming launch of the “eye network” and the eye card, have been designed to leverage who you know and what we have to offer. It has the power to put very cool modern and contemporary furniture into the place where you live at greatly reduced price. You are the one who gives the card; you are the one who introduces the eye network of hip and Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams to your like-minded, furniture-loving friends. You tell friends and relatives with whom you share your passion for well made fabulously designed furniture and they tell friends and they tell friends. It doesn't just stop there either. In the end, many of your original network will also have an opportunity to join in as new cards become available. You will have created a small personal network from one to twenty individuals (your original 10 plus up to an additional 10 coming from their friends who choose to join, all empowered with 10 eye network cards, specially linked to their very own personal eye network account. Due to the nature of the eye network design, connected members is limited. Our goal is to maintain the highest level of service to our customers, while we extend this great offer. You will be notified by email, if your request falls near or at the end of this first enrollment period.

Share the love. Sign up and get your cards as soon as they become available. Give your cards! You’ll look good when those in your network receive a 15% discount on their next furniture purchase (or two) and as a bonus you will receive a credit your account equal to 5% of all qualifying purchases made by those in your eye network (details will be provided within your membership package). Each time someone in your eye network purchases and uses their card (on up to two separate purchasing visits), you’ll receive an email updating you with the status of your account. Your network account will be visible online, where you’ll see the value in your sharing the furniture love at hip or our Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams store.

Get your place looking great. Let your account grow, or come to hip or Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams whenever your urge to splurge on furniture strikes. You’ll be able to use your credits just like cash.

We’re near to completing this truly great way for more people to come to know hip and Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams. We believe there “really is no place like hip” and with the added collection of furniture from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, we’re sure you’ll want to register today and become part of the new eye network furniture group from hip. Your enthusiasm will help to open more eyes to great furniture from hip & Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams. Just as it was 12 years ago in 1996 when hip started, our growth came from treating you right, by offering great quality, and staying focused on great designs. Now we’re even more driven to find new ways to continue our growth, while giving the savings directly to you, your friends, and your families.

That’s how we roll at hip.

Street of Dreams

Hip was selected to participate in the 2008 Street of Dreams. You can see our furniture throughout the "Pure Innova" house. This amazing home came together just 24 hours before opening day. Hip’s delivery crew was there and navigated through the main entry portal and down the main entry stairs all 18 of them where they completed the furniture installation both on the main floor and the lower level and two outside decks. Please feel free to us with any questions you may have related to the furniture we provided to the 2008 Street of Dreams.

StyleGarage by HIP

"When it is all about price, without giving up design"

We have introduced a new concept in half of our NW Portland showroom, and it's called StyleGarage.

Purchase manufacturer overstocks, inventory reductions, display merchandise & new product tests at StyleGarage prior to general sale. Even greater savings beyond our already great values!

StyleGarage items are tagged with the special StyleGarage price tag. Prices are discounted from 10-50%. Due to the very low pricing, we are not able to place on hold any StyleGarage item. All sales are final. Gratification is immediate, when you take it with you today, or ask for Hip’s home delivery.

Many StyleGarage items are the most current available. Additional product or changes in fabric or finish may also be available as well. Special orders as usual may be placed through your hip sales associate of course pricing would be at Hip’s everyday low pricing.

StyleGarage items are in limited quantity and are sold as is. Most items are in perfect condition, with new additions added weekly. We have taken time and care in noting any slight flaws or minor damages prior to determining the final price of StyleGarage items, however we suggest you also take time to look over your item of interest prior to purchase.
