Inside a historic Chicago landmark, spanning 23,000-square-feet of prime space alongside the Chicago River , the eyes of ancient Asian statuary keep watch over a 200-year-old medicine cabinet from a remote Chinese village. A pair of 1920's Art Deco club chairs from Vienna are juxtaposed with a primitive 1800's monk’s bed from Burma, all showcased in an entire room which was once part of a century-old home of a wealthy merchant in Thailand .
Amid a series of individual room settings that more resemble Hollywood movie sets then booming retail space, you've entered the world of Doug Van Tress and Chauwarin Tuntisak, the innovative, globe-trotting force behind The Golden Triangle, a Mike Foran Public Relations client located in Chicago’s River North community.
Since 1989, the duo have been wowing an ever-expanding list of clients with an unmatched collection of rare and unique artifacts, furnishing, antiques and accessories collected on treasure-hunting missions throughout Asia and points beyond. From Van Tress and Tuntisak’s original tiny shop on Chicago Avenue, launched shortly after college, to their steady rise at the corner Clark and Hubbard Streets -- growing from 2,500 to eventually 11,000-square-feet -- they’ve struck a chord among a discerning clientele who simply won’t settle for average.
The Golden Triangle recently completed its move to a sprawling new home, on the main floor of the renovated Reid Murdoch Center, constructed in 1914 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Once again, Van Tress and Tuntisak continue to impress, combining an unparalleled and ever-changing inventory of all things rare, with jaw-dropping authentic room settings and facades transported piece by piece from around the world. This not-to-be missed retail experience now also includes a central indoor courtyard, which has fast become a top venue for private, after-hours receptions, dinners and events.
The Golden Triangle is located at 330 North Clark Street in Chicago . For additional information, call 312-755-1266, or visit The Golden Triangle .
