Evolved Kitchen and Garden
| ABOUT THE BSH SHOWROOM VAULT The BSH Showroom Vault, nestled within LuxeHome at the MART in Chicago, is a one-of-a-kind event space housed in a beautifully restored 1930s bank vault. Located in the iconic Merchandise Mart, the Vault retains its original Art Deco charm, from the striking ceiling trim to the imposing vault doors. Shadowbox alcoves, once home to safety deposit boxes, are now lined with rich walnut and display historic memorabilia—creating a unique blend of past and present. This distinctive setting serves as a private venue for events, meetings, and intimate dining experiences. |
