Founded in 1986, Arhaus is a furniture and decor retailer specializing in heirloom goods with 103 stores throughout the United States. They are collectors with a deep appreciation for quality, for keeping, for home. 

 

Opal collaborated on Storied, a multi-platform visual journey documenting Arhaus’ artisan partners found throughout the world. A series of books embraces the magic of the artisans through poetic storytelling and imagery. 

 

Volume II, Bellissimo Segreto, shares the magnitude of Italy's artisans and artistry, past and present. Places, people—and the true stories of each—were woven together into considered, elegant pacing. Typography is pared back, inspired by the past and as if it were once carved out of stone. Ligatures were incorporated to inform a harmonious flow. Collections of upholstery, tables, chairs, cabinets and stone rest in the book’s conclusion, a way to connect story to product to home. 

For the first time, Arhaus inspired its dedicated audience outside of catalog and inside the luxurious pages of toothy, heavyweight paper.
