Accessible Luxury for Island Living

Resolutions abound as we usher in the holidays — when updating and upgrading your lifestyle, consider reimagining your living space as well. Rearranging your furniture and investing in new pieces can work wonders to elevate both your home and spirit. At Red Knot, a locally owned business under the C. S. Wo & Sons family of companies, a curated selection of Hawaii scale quality furnishings and accessories makes finding the right items fun and easy.

“Red Knot has always focused on urban living and smaller spaces, with smaller-scale furniture, great value and trendy styles at the heart of its identity,” says Damian Pherigo, vice president of C. S. Wo & Sons. “Amid the challenges of the current economic environment, these pieces allow customers to easily refresh their homes with ‘Hawaii-scale’ furniture that’s not only practical but also brings energy and elegance to their space at an accessible price point.”

According to Pherigo, 2024 saw Hawaii homeowners prioritizing value, versatility, and space efficiency when selecting furniture. Red Knot continues to stay at the forefront of trending design styles while understanding customers’ pragmatic needs.

Vignettes of curated, complementary pieces in the showroom showcase examples of scale and aesthetic combinations.

The Elora bedroom collection is popular for its contemporary curves and rich tonal finishes.

Standout pieces like the Elora bedroom collection reflect the popular modern aesthetic with clean lines, rounded rectangular shapes and fluid waterfall edges. Presented in a sophisticated vignette at the Red Knot showroom in downtown Honolulu, the Elora collection shines as “a perfect fit for contemporary interiors, while its subtle tonal contrasts lend it a timeless elegance that complements a range of styles, from sleek urban spaces to chic, minimalist rooms,” says Pherigo.

For versatility and functionality in the living room and dining room, Pherigo recommends the Portola Collection of dining and occasional tables and sofas like the Maddison and Harper designed by Red Knot for Hawaii’s smaller living spaces. “Made from sustainably harvested sheesham, mango and acacia wood, these tables are thoughtfully scaled for condos and smaller spaces,” he explains. “Their solid construction and warm, natural finishes make them both functional and aesthetically pleasing for any home.”

Portola Collection occasional tables are chic and versatile pieces for any space.

These and other exciting additions to the Red Knot inventory are available for convenient online shopping as well. Aside from the incentive of kicking off 2025 with brand new furniture and décor, this season is a great time to pick up the pieces you’ve been eyeing at a great price during Red Knot’s annual New Year’s sale.

“The start of a new year is the perfect opportunity to freshen up your home and create a new feel and energy that align with your other goals,” says Pherigo. “Giving your living room, bedroom or dining room a makeover with new furniture or accessories can completely transform the feel of your space, making it a welcoming environment for the year ahead.”

Pherigo notes that Red Knot is also “undergoing a bit of a transformation.” In anticipation of its 10th anniversary in 2026, stay tuned for “more refined pieces that offer a level of sophistication usually found in high-end furniture lines.”
