When home furnishings designer Jonathan Adler closed his upscale store in Uptown in early 2016, he said that the company was still exploring other options in the Twin Cities. There was speculation that he might land his collection of colorful, playful chic in the Galleria.

Instead, Adler's people approached Greg Walsh, co-owner of Martin Patrick 3 in the North Loop with a store-in-store opportunity. "We obviously jumped on the opportunity," said Walsh. "We will have access to the full line and will be showing furniture, accessories, art, rugs, and lighting. It's pretty cool stuff!"

The Adler section has been incorporated into design studio in the back of Martin Patrick. A few furniture pieces were on display Wednesday plus a large selection of Adler's signature pottery.
